Judge whether the doping of described testing sample silicon chip lost efficacy, according to described non-defective unit silicon chip and described testing sample silicon chip
The difference of resistivity or carrier concentration estimates the dopant dose inefficacy size of described testing sample silicon chip.Such as Fig. 4 institute
Showing, curve 11 and curve 12 are the most misaligned, it is possible to judge that the doping of described testing sample silicon chip 1 was lost efficacy.By
Size in resistivity is decided by that the mobility of carrier concentration and carrier, i.e. ρ=1/nq μ, ρ represent resistance
Rate, n represents that carrier concentration, μ represent the mobility of carrier.It can be seen that when the mobility of carrier is constant
Time, resistivity is determined by carrier concentration.So carrier concentration can be conversed by the difference of resistivity
Difference, and have the difference of carrier concentration, then can estimate the dopant dose inefficacy size of described testing sample silicon chip, former
Manage as follows: adulterating ion implantation type, concentration distribution relation is
S is single
Plane amasss ion implantation dosage, and x is the degree of depth, RpFor the projected range on ion implanting direction, σpFor projected range
Statistic fluctuation;The surface carrier concentration that the embodiment of the present invention obtains is directly proportional to implantation dosage under many circumstances,
Through comparing with described non-defective unit silicon chip, can be rough by described non-defective unit silicon chip and described testing sample silicon chip 1 carrier concentration difference
The difference of estimation ion implantation dosage.
Above by specific embodiment, the present invention is described in detail, but these have not constituted the limit to the present invention
System.Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art it may also be made that many deformation and improves, this
Also should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention a bit.
