Rapid thermal annealing sequences were developed and studied using only argon (Ar). Some experiments were repeated in an attempt to establish a reproducibility study. Type I samples were used and processed on top of silicon carrier wafers, with no bonding required. The details for each experiment are presented in the following table. | Rapid thermal annealing sequences were developed and studied using only argon (Ar).
