摘要: A Kelvin contact resistance test structure has been developed for accurate and direct measurement of highly-doped shallow n/sup +/ p/sup junctions, which may be self-aligned to the window. The is easily integrated in many IC-processes. Results are presented high-dose arsenic implantations, where excimer laser annealing windows yields resistivities below 10/sup -7/ /spl Omega/cm/sup 2/.
