Abstract

An implantation process in which a first dose of ions is implanted to produce a damaged layer through which a second dose of implant ions is directed. The damaged layer scatters the ions in the second dose so that these latter ions need not be directed at an angle to avoid channeling. The second dose is generally significantly higher than the first so that the resulting doping profile is produced primarily by the second dose, which can be directed perpendicular to the surface of the wafer.
