ABSTRACTA comprehensive study of MeV-15N-ion-implanted InP by a variety of analytical techniques has revealed the physical processes involved in MeV ion implantation into III-V compound semiconductors as well as the influence of post-implantation annealing. It provides a coherent picture of implant distribution, structural transition, crystalline damage, and lattice strain in InP crystals induced by ion implantation and thermal annealing. The experimental results from the different measurements are summarized in this report. Mechanisms of amorphization by implantation and recrystallization through annealing in MeV-ion-implanted InP are proposed and discussed in light of the results obtained.

P-type 4H-SiC layers have been obtained by different 400°C Al+ ion implantation processes of semi insulating 4H-SiC wafers and identical 1950°C/5 min post implantation annealing. Implanted Al+ concentration have been 4.7×1018, 9.3×1018, and 4.7×1019 cm-3, thickness of the implanted layer about 630 nm. Electrical characterizations have been performed in the temperature range 100 – 580 K. With decreasing temperature, the onset of a hole conduction through an impurity band has been seen for all the specimens.

The fabrication of a fully ion-implanted and microwave annealed vertical p-i-n diode using high purity semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrate has been demonstrated for the first time. The thickness of the intrinsic region is the wafer thickness 350 µm. The anode and cathode of the diode have been doped with Al and P, respectively, to concentrations of few times 1020 cm-3 by ion implantation. The post implantation annealing has been performed by microwave heating the samples up to 2100°C. The device rectifying behavior indicates that a carrier modulation takes place in the bulk intrinsic region.

The defect microstructures of Si arising from ion implantation and subsequent regrowth for a (111) substrate have been found to be dominated by microtwins. Figure 1(a) is a typical diffraction pattern of annealed ion-implanted (111) Si showing two groups of extra diffraction spots; one at positions (m, n integers), the other at adjacent positions between <000> and <220>. The object of the present paper is to show that these extra reflections are a direct consequence of the microtwins in the material.

Merits and limitations of layered and ion implanted specimens as possible reference materials to calibrate spatially resolved analytical techniques are discussed and illustrated for the case of gold analysis in minerals by means of x-ray spectrometry with the EPMA. To overcome the random heterogeneities of minerals, thin film deposition and ion implantation may offer an original approach to the manufacture of controlled concentration/ distribution reference materials for quantification of trace elements with the same matrix as the unknown.In order to evaluate the accuracy of data obtained by EPMA we have compared measured and calculated x-ray intensities for homogeneous and heterogeneous specimens. Au Lα and Au Mα x-ray intensities were recorded at various electron beam energies, and hence at various sampling depths, for gold coated and gold implanted specimens. X-ray intensity calculations are based on the use of analytical expressions for both the depth ionization Φ (ρz) and the depth concentration C (ρz) distributions respectively.

ABSTRACTThe effects of nitrogen ion implantation of Ti-6AI-4V alloy on growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria on surfaces of the alloy have been investigated. Results for ion implanted samples were compared with controls with similarly smoothly polished surfaces and with controls that had intentionally roughened surfaces. The test consisted of exposing sterile alloy samples to a microbiological broth, to which 24 hour-old cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa had been added. After bioassociation at normal temperature 37°C, bacteria adhering to the surface were fixed and treated with a new ruthenium tetroxide staining method, and quantified by use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), back-scattered electron imaging and EDAX energy dispersive microanalysis. For smooth samples of the alloy, after a 12 hour growth period, the retained bacteria (revealed by the biologically incorporated ruthenium), decreased monotonically with nitrogen dose out to a total fluence of approximately 7 × 1017/cm2 in an affected depth of approximately 0.1500 μm. The SEM confirmed that the Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhered equally to control materials. The ruthenium studies revealed that the amount of bacterial adhesion is indirectly proportional to the nitrogen ion implantation of the titanium. The greater the percentage of nitrogen ion implantation in the titanium alloy, the less bacteria colonized the disk.

ABSTRACTThis review examines the annealing behaviour of ion implanted gallium arsenide during furance, laser and e-beam processing.The two annealing regimes, namely solid phase regrowth via furnace or CW laser/e-beam annealing and liquid phase epitaxy produced by pulsed lasers/e-beam, are examined in some detail.Emphasis is placed upon an understanding of the physical processes which are important during the various annealing modes.Comparison with the annealing behaviour of ion implantedelemental semiconductors(notably silicon) is made throughout the review to highlight relevant similarities and differences between compound and elemental semiconductors.The electrical properties of annealed gallium arsenide layers are not treatedin any detail, although particular observations which are relevant to the annealing processes are briefly discussed.

ABSTRACTVacancy-type defects in ion implanted Si were studied by a monoenergetic positron beam. The depth-distributions of the defects were obtained from measurements of Doppler broadening profiles of the positron annihilation as a function of incident positron energy. The results showed that a size of vacany-clusters introduced by 150-keV P+-ion implantation was found to be smaller than that introduced by 2-MeV P+-ion implantation. This was attributed to an overlap of collision cascades in low-energy (150 keV) ion implanted specimens. From isochronal annealing experiments for 80-keV B+- and 150-keV P+-ion implanted specimens, the defected region was removed by 1200 °C annealing, however, for 2-MeV P+-implanted specimen, two-types of oxygen-vacancy complexes were found to coexist even after 1200 °C annealing.

ABSTRACTIn this work we report the structural and optical properties of ion implanted GaN. Potential acceptors such as Ca and Er were used as dopants. Ion implantation was carried out with the substrate at room temperature and 550 °C, respectively. The lattice site location of the dopants was studied by Rutherford backscattering/channeling combined with particle induced X-ray emission. Angular scans along both [0001] and [1011] directions show that 50% of the Er ions implanted at 550 oC occupy substitutional or near substitutional Ga sites after annealing. For Ca we found only a fraction of 30% located in displaced Ga sites along the [0001] direction. The optical properties of the ion implanted GaN films have been studied by photoluminescence measurements. Er- related luminescence near 1.54 μm is observed under below band gap excitation at liquid helium temperature. The spectra of the annealed samples consist of multiline structures with the sharpest lines found in GaN until now. The green and red emissions were also observed in the Er doped samples after annealing.
