Two types of Poly-Si film implanted with boron and phosphorus ions were studied, namely, B-doped films of 400 nm and P-doped layers of 250 nm thickness, which were deposited by LPCVD at 620 °C on thermally oxidized silicon wafers. Film doping was done by ion implantation at 50 keV, with a dose of boron and phosphorus of 2 x 1014 and 5.3 x 1014 cm-2, respectively. The Poly-Si films were annealed in a H2 ambient at 1000 ºC for 20 min to activate the implanted atoms. A controlled amount of external stress was applied to the silicon wafers in order to study the impact on the electrical performance of the implanted Poly-Si resistors. The resistance of the B-doped Poly-Si films is shown to increase by the mechanical stress, while the resistance of the P-implanted Poly-Si films remained unchanged. It is concluded that this difference is related to the structural differences between Poly-Si films implanted with boron and phosphorus, respectively. INTRODUCTION There is currently a strong interest in analog microwave silicon-based technologies for mobile telecommunications applications. This high-frequency potential of Bipolar (Bi), Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) or BiCMOS can be realised by downscaling the technologies to the submicron regime and below. However, beside the active components, there is also a need to integrate the pa
