We found that for the same dose and implant energy of F co-implant and BF2, the leakage current of /?+/w-junction was improved by one decade in BF2-F sequence. Further Variation of dose and implant energy had shown that implant sequence affected the electrical characterization such as leakage current, breakdown voltage and resistance in p+/njunction. As implant sequence changes, the pre-amorphization layer will be different according to the dopant, dose and implant energy. These will significantly affect the subsequent implant profile and depth.
