Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods for backside wafer dopant activation using a low-temperature ion implant. In some embodiments, a method may include forming a semiconductor device atop a first main side of a substrate, and performing a low-temperature ion implant to a second main side of the substrate, wherein the first main side of the substrate is opposite the second main side of the substrate. The method may further include performing a second ion implant to the second main side of the substrate to form a collector layer.
