In this study, explosive indentations were used to characterize the dynamic damage behavior of silicon nitride ceramics with different microstructures. Three grades of silicon nitrides with different grain size and shape were prepared. Subsurface damage of specimens was characterized extensively using optical and electron microscopy. It was found that the dynamic damage response depends strongly on the microstructure of specimens, particularly on the glassy grain boundary phase.

ABSTRACTWe have characterized subsurface damage profiles of hydrogen-ion implanted silicon wafers by using a non-contact UV/Millimeter-Wave Technique and Light Scattering Topography (LST). A subsurface damage profile that was less than one micrometer was controlled by chemical mechanical polishing after hydrogen-ion implantation. On the area with the subsurface damage, the Photoconductivity Amplitude (PCA) signals measured by the UV/Millimeter-Wave Technique drastically weakened and the haze values measured by LST increased. A clear correlation has been found between the peak depth of the subsurface damage and the haze value. The spectral analyses of the surface images obtained by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) were carried out in order to separate the influences of surface micro roughness and subsurface damage on the haze value. The contribution of subsurface damage to the haze value can be formulated as the convolution of the damage profile and the transparency function of the incident laser in silicon crystal.
