Abstract :
We report a fully ion-implanted pn junction using Si for n-implant and P/Be co-implant for a shallow p+ surface layer. C/V measurements indicate abrupt junction behaviour. Mesa diodes were fabricated and showed an ideality factor of two, small leakage current and avalanche breakdown at reverse bias greater than 40 V.
