The influence of finely dispersed, stable particles on the mechanical strength and microstructure of Al films on Si substrates has been studied. Aluminum oxide particles were produced in Al films by oxygen ion implantation, and the grain size was increased by a laser reflow treatment. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to observe the oxide particles and the grain structure in the films after subsequent annealing, and the wafer curvature technique was used to study the deformation properties of the films as a function of temperature. Significant particle strengthening was obtained in the coarse-grained films in tension as well as in compression. In the as-deposited and ion-implanted films a very fine grain size of only 0.35 μm is stabilized after annealing which causes considerable softening of the film in compression at higher temperature because of the enhancement of grain boundary and volume diffusion controlled relaxation mechanisms. However, in tension at low temperature these films show high stresses comparable to those of the laser reflowed and ion-implanted films. The results are discussed in the light of TEM observations.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the properties of Si interstitial clusters in ion implanted crystalline Si. Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy measurements have been used to characterize the residual damage in Si samples implanted with Si ions at fluence in the range 1×109-1×1012/cm2 and annealed at temperatures of 100–700 °C. We have found that, in the fluence and annealing temperature range where extended defects are not formed, the residual damage is dominated by Si interstitial clusters which introduce deep levels at Ev+0.36 eV and at Ev+O-53 eV. By using Si substrates with a different impurity and dopant content, we have found that C, O and B play a role in determining the defect growth kinetics but are not the main constituents of these clusters. We estimate that 40 to 125 Si self intersti-tials are stored in these clusters and believe that they are the main source of Si self-inter-stitials in transient enhanced diffusion phenomena occurring in the absence of {311} or extended defects.

Post-deposition ion implantation of boron nitride (BN) films is to be considered as a powerful method for improvement of adhesion between films and substrates and reduction of compressive stresses, which usually accompany the growth of cubic BN.The goal of this investigation is microcharacterization of as-deposited and ion-implanted BN films to better understand effect of ion implantation on microstructure of the films and film/substrate interface. High Resolution TEM (HF-2000 with field emission gun) has been utilized because of nanocrystalline dimensions of both cubic (c-) and hexagonal (h-) BN phases.BN films have been deposited on (100) oriented Si substrates by magnetically enhanced activated reactive evaporation2. Plasma source ion implantation has been performed to make surface modifications and to improve the adhesion of the films. X/S specimens for TEM and HRTEM have been prepared in a routine manner, using G-1 epoxy for coupling the specimens, Dimpler VCR D500I, and Gatan Precision Ion Polishing System for final thinning.

ABSTRACTThe formation of vacancy-related defects in n-type silicon has been studied immediately after implantation of He, Si, or Ge ions at 85 K using in-situ DLTS. A-center concentrations in He-implanted samples reach a maximum immediately after implantation, whereas, with Si or Ge ion implanted samples they continuously increase during subsequent anneals. It is proposed that defect clusters, which emit vacancies during anneals, are generated in the collision cascades of Si or Ge ions. An illumination-induced suppression of A-center formation is seen immediately after implantation of He ions at 85 K. This effect is also observed with Si or Ge ions, but only after annealing. The suppression of vacancy complex formation via photoexcitation is believed to occur due to an enhanced recombination of defects during ion implantation, and results in reduced number of vacancies remaining in the defect clusters. In p-type silicon, a reduction in K-center formation and an enhanced migration of defects are concurrently observed in the illuminated sample implanted with Si ions. These observations are consistent with a model where the injection of excess carriers modifies the defect charge state and impacts their diffusion.
