Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Plasma processing is widely used in manufacturing present-day ULSI circuits. During plasma processing, defects are created in a material by incident plasma species. The defects are created not only in the depth direction but also in the lateral direction due to the stochastic lateral straggling of incident species. Although the density of defects created in the lateral direction is extremely small, it is predicted to become one of key issues in device designs which require ultra-low-density defects such as sensors and ultra-low power devices. The defects created by lateral straggling of incident species are difficult to detect using conventional analytical techniques. In this study, we have designed device structures with various lateral distances of pn junction to evaluate the defects in the lateral direction as well as that in the vertical direction. We analyzed the change in junction leakage current due to plasma-induced damage and clarified the density and profile of defects in the lateral direction. In addition, we focused on the dark current characteristics of the image sensor and verified the effect of low-density defects created in the lateral direction on the device performance.
