AbstractPECVD silicon nitride was deposited by silane and deuterium ammonia. Silicon rich and nitrogen rich silicon nitride were deposited by varying the ratio of the SiH4/DH3. From FTIR, we found that the wave numbers of SiD and ND shifted lower when compared to SiH and NH bond in the NH3 nitride. In Si-rich nitride, both Si-H and Si-D bonds were found, which is different from N-rich nitride, where only an ND bond was found. Most of the hydrogen in NH(D) comes from the ammonia during PECVD deposition. We found that some of the deuterium exchanges its bonding to silicon from the initial bonding to nitrogen during a rapid thermal annealing process.

A combination of 10 keV 13 C low energy ion implantation and electron beam rapid thermal annealing (EB-RTA) is used to fabricate silicon carbide nanostructures on (100) silicon surfaces. These large ellipsoidal features appear after EB-RTA at 1000°C for 15 s. Prior to annealing, the silicon surfaces are virgin-like flat. Atomic force microscopy was used to study the morphology of these structures and it was found that the diameter and number of nanoboulders are linearly dependent on the implantation fluence. Further, a linear relationship between nanoboulder diameter and spacing suggests crystal coarsening is a fundamental element in the growth mechanism.
