Abstract

Formation of amorphous (α) layers in Si during ion implantation in the energy range 100 KeV–11MeV and temperature range liquid nitrogen (LN)-100°C has been investigated.Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) shows that buried amorphous layers can be created for both room temperature (RT) and LN temperature implants, with a wider 100 percent amorphous region for the LN cooled case. The relative narrowing of the α layer during RT implantation is attributed to in situ annealing. Implantation to the same fluence at temperatures above 100°C does not produce αlayers. To further investigate in situ annealing effects, specimens already containing buried α layers were further irradiated with ion beams in the temperature range RT-400°C. It was found that isolated small α zones (< 50 Å diameter)embedded in the crystalline matrix near the two α/c interfaces dissolved into the crystal but the thickness of the 100 percent α layer was not appreciably affected by further implantation at 200°C. A model for in situ annealing during implantation is presented.
