Effect of the flash annealing on the impurity distribution and the   electronic structure in the inversion layer
  Hole subband structure under strong band bending such a Pb on Si(111) and Indium on Si(111) have been investigated by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy(ARPES). Energy levels of hole subband structure which indicate the quantized levels in inversion layer are strongly depend on band bend shape which can be controlled by the impurity concentration of substrate. Meanwhile, the discrepancy for the suband energy separation between experimental results and calculation results is also observed. In this study, we aim to clarify the relationship between flash annealing and impurity concentration and the hole subband. From this results, it was found out that high temperature flash annealing at 1250 degree has considerable effect on the impurity concentration at subsurface region by Secondary Ion Mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and our diffusion model. This effect makes the band bend shape and subband energy separation change. Moreover, It was revealed that the reduction of the impurity distribution was inhibited less than 900 degree of the flashing temperature.
