Controlled doping with an effective carrier concentration higher than 1020 cm−3 is a key challenge for the full integration of Ge into silicon-based technology. Such a highly doped layer of both p- and n type is needed to provide ohmic contacts with low specific resistance. We have studied the effect of ion implantation parameters i.e., ion energy, fluence, ion type, and protective layer on the effective concentration of electrons. We have shown that the maximum electron concentration increases as the thickness of the doping layer decreases. The degradation of the implanted Ge surface can be minimized by performing ion implantation at temperatures that are below −100 °C with ion flux less than 60 nAcm−2 and maximum ion energy less than 120 keV. The implanted layers are flash-lamp annealed for 20 ms in order to inhibit the diffusion of the implanted ions during the recrystallization process.

The effect of phosphorus (P) on the electrical properties of the 4H-SiC / SiO2interface was investigated. Phosphorus was introduced by surface-near ion implantation with varying ion energy and dose prior to thermal oxidation. Secondary ion mass spectrometry revealed that only part of the implanted P followed the oxidation front to the interface. A negative flatband shift due to residual P in the oxide was found fromC-Vmeasurements. Conductance method measurements revealed a significant reduction of density of interface trapsDitwith energyEC- Eit> 0.3 V for P+-implanted samples with [P]interface= 1.5 1018cm-3in the SiC layer at the interface.

ABSTRACTIon implantation of Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) enables localized doping of the film by using conventional lithography. Although the doped region dimensions and the doping concentration profile are defined by the opening in the mask and the ion energy, longitudinal and lateral straggling of implanted ions leads to a spread in the ions final location. Additionally, a thermal treatment such as one that induces a phase transition may lead to redistribution of the implanted dopants and further increase the spread. In this work we demonstrate doping of GST by ion implantation. Using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) we studied the as-implanted doping profiles obtain by ion implantation of carbon and silicon into GST. We also investigated by SIMS the dopant redistribution following a recrystallization annealing. The as-implanted ion profiles were found to be in fair agreement with TRIM simulation. The dopants profiles show little change after a crystallization annealing at 200°C for silicon doping and at 350°C for carbon doping.

AbstractIon implantation, specified by parameters like ion energy, ion fluence, ion flux and sub-strate temperature, has become a well-established tool to synthesize buried low-dimensional nanostructures. In general, in ion beam synthesis the evolution of nanostructures is determined by the competition between ballistic and thermodynamic effects. A kinetic 3D lattice Monte-Carlo model is introduced, which allows for a proper incorporation of collisional mixing and phase separation within supersaturated solid-solutions. It is shown, that for both the ballistically and thermodynamically dominated regimes, the Gibbs-Thomson relation is the key ingredient in understanding nanocluster evolution. Various aspects of precipitate evolution during implantation, formation of ordered arrays of nanophase domains by focused ion implantation and compound nanocluster synthesis are discussed.

ABSTRACTIon-implantation can increase the electrical conductivity of the polymer poly (p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) by ~ 14 orders of magnitude. This conductivity increase, which is stable under ambient conditions, is studied as a function of temperature, ion energy, fluence and species, using a novel technique, based on microelectronics processing, capable of accurately measuring conductivities as low as 10−10 (Ω-cm)−1. Mechanisms for the enhanced conductivity of PPS are discussed in relation to our measurements.

ABSTRACTRecoil ion implantation of In2O3 into soda glass substrates has been investigated. Increased adhesion results, while the optical and electrical properties are altered. Large energy deposition rates can lead to the reduction of the oxide, thus decreasing visible transmission. Thermal annealing in air results in the recovery of optical and electrical properties. The influence of ion energy and dose on the modification of the glass has been examined.

Ranges for Al implantations into 4H-SiC (0001) were compared between channeled-ion implantation (without using a MeV implanter) and non-channeled ion implantation using an ion energy E0 in the Bethe–Bloch region (IIBB). Since the latter (i.e., projected range of 7.5 μm at E0 = 26 MeV) was larger than the former (i.e., maximum channeled range of 3.4 μm at E0 = 900 keV), IIBB was concluded to be suitable to minimize the repeat count of epitaxial growth/ion implantation steps used in the fabrication of 4H-SiC superjunction power devices.

ABSTRACTIon implantation is shown to retard surface slip and thereby induce improvements in wear and fatigue resistance of metals. A simple test is described which can be used to study the effects of ion implantation in retarding motion of dislocations in the near-surface regions of metals. In this test, regions of annealed and etched surfaces of metals are masked and implanted with ions. The specimens are then deformed until significant plastic deformation is introduced and the slip-lines are observed under the microscope. Evidence of improved resistance to slip-line formation in nitrogen ion implanted surface regions is presented for copper, α-iron and 303 stainless steel. The test is shown to be a useful tool for comparing the effects of ion implantation conditions on surface slip retardation, since adjacent regions of the surface can be implanted to different conditions and the resistance to slip line formation in the different regions can be compared. For example, the resistance to slip line formation in 303 stainless steel was found to be greater in regions that were implanted at ultrahigh current densities (1500 μA/cm2) than in regions implanted at lower current densities (100 μA/cm2) to the same dose and at the same ion energy.
