The diffusion behavior of ion-implanted arsenic and phosphorus in relaxed has been investigated. Under equilibrium, extrinsic conditions, both dopants are observed to diffuse faster in SiGe than in Si. Simulations of the measured profiles suggest that the ratio of the effective diffusivity in compared to that in Si is roughly seven for arsenic, and roughly two for phosphorus. Under transient diffusion conditions, the arsenic diffusivity in SiGe is retarded, and the magnitude of the diffusion is roughly the same as that in Si. This result suggests that it is possible to optimize the diffusion conditions to achieve source/drain junctions that are as shallow in SiGe as in Si.
