Passivated Contact Formation Using Ion Implantation

David Young (Inventor), Pauls Stradins (Inventor), William Nemeth (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

Methods for forming passivated contacts include implanting compound-forming ions into a substrate to about a first depth below a surface of the substrate, and implanting dopant ions into the substrate to about a second depth below the surface. The second depth may be shallower than the first depth. The methods also include annealing the substrate.
