AbstractWe have used high-dose metal ion implantation to ‘fine tune’ the composition of Y-Ba- Cu-O thin films. The films were prepared by either of two rf sputtering systems. One system uses three modified Varian S-guns capable of sputtering various metal powder targets; the other uses reactive rf magnetron sputtering from a single mixed-oxide stoichiometric solid target. Film thickness was typically in the range 2000–5000 A. Substrates of magnesium oxide, zirconia-buffered silicon, and strontium titanate have been used. Ion implantation was carried out using a metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) high current metal ion source. Beam energy was 100–200 keV, average beam current about 1 mA, and dose up to about 1017 ions/cm2. Samples were annealed at 800 – 900°C in wet oxygen. Film composition was determined using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), and the resistivity versus temperature curves were obtained using a four-point probe method. We find that the zero-resistance temperature can be greatly increased after implantation and reannealing, and that the ion beam modification technique described here provides a powerful means for optimizing the thin film superconducting properties.

AbstractWe have investigated the formation of IrSi3 layers buried in <111> silicon. The layers are formed by iridium ion implantation using a metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) high current metal ion source at room temperature with average beam energy = 130 keV. Doses of the Ir ions ranging from 2×1016 to 1.5×1017/cm2 were implanted into <111> Si. The formation of IrSi3 phase is realized after annealing at temperatures as low as 500°C. A continuous IrSi3 layer of =200 Å thick buried under =400 Å Si was achieved with samples implanted with doses not less than 3.5×1016/cm2. Implantated doses above 8×1016/cm2 resulted in the formation of an IrSi3 layer on the surface due to excessive sputtering of Si by the TI ions. The effects of implant dose on phase formation, interface morphology and implanted atom redistribution are discussed. Radiation damage and regrowth of Si due to the implantation process was also studied.
