AbstractThe alloy system Six(SnyC1-y)1-x was investigated. In this work, samples were prepared by co-implantation of tin and carbon ions into silicon wafers with dosage range 1015 − 1016cm−2, followed by rapid thermal annealing. Rutherford backscattering channeling, Auger sputter profiling, and secondary ion mass spectrometry were employed to study the crystallinity, chemical composition and depth profiles. A near perfect crystallinity for 0.5% at. of tin and carbon was achieved. To study the electrical properties in the implanted materials, diode I-V measurements were performed. The data show near ideal p-n junctions in the co-implanted region. This work demonstrates promising features of group IV semiconductor synthesis by ion implantation.

ABSTRACTStructural and electrical properties of beryllium implanted silicon carbide have been investigated by secondary ion mass spectrometry, Rutherford backscattering as well as deep level transient spectroscopy, resistivity and Hall measurements. Strong redistributions of the beryllium profiles have been found after a short post-implantation anneal cycle at temperatures between 1500 °C and 1700 °C. In particular, diffusion towards the surface has been observed which caused severe depletion of beryllium in the surface region. The crystalline state of the implanted material is well recovered already after annealing at 1450 °C. However, four deep levels induced by the implantation process have been detected by deep level transient spectroscopy.

ABSTRACTThe effects of Ti and Co silicidation on P+ ion implantation damage in Si have been investigated. After silicidation of unannealed 40 keV, 2×1015 cm-2 P+ implanted junctions by rapid thermal annealing at 900°C for 10–300 seconds, secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiles of phosphorus in suicided and non-silicided junctions were compared. While non-silicided and TiSi2 suicided junctions exhibited equal amounts of transient enhanced diffusion behavior, the junction depths under COSi2 were significantly shallower. End-of-range interstitial dislocation loops in the same suicided and non-silicided junctions were studied by planview transmission electron microscopy. The loops were found to be stable after 900°C, 5 minute annealing in non-silicided material, and their formation was only slightly effected by TiSi2 or COSi2 silicidation. However, enhanced dissolution of the loops was observed under both TiSi2 and COSi2, with essentially complete removal of the defects under COSi2 after 5 minutes at 900°C. The observed diffusion and defect behavior strongly suggest that implantation damage induced excess interstitial concentrations are significantly reduced by the formation and presence of COSi2, and to a lesser extent by TiSi2. The observed time-dependent defect removal under the suicide films suggests that vacancy injection and/or interstitial absorption by the suicide film continues long after the suicide chemical reaction is complete.

AbstractNew possibilities offered by the method of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for analysis of the phase composition of carbon-containing materials are considered. Differences are established between the mass spectra of three carbon phases: diamond, diamond-like carbon (DLC), and graphite. A simple algorithm for the quantitative determination of different phases in two-phase systems diamond–graphite and DLC–graphite is proposed that is based on the measurement of relative intensities of secondary cluster ions such as C_8/C_5 and CsC_8/CsC_4. It is shown that nonuniform depth profiles of various carbon phases are formed in diamond structures upon laser cutting and in DLC structures upon thermal annealing.

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.

ABSTRACTQuantitative depth profiles of impurities in LPE layers of HgCdTe have been determined using relative sensitivity factors calculated from ion implantation profiles. Standards were provided for Li, Be, B, C, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Cu, Ga, As, Br, and In. Relative sensitivity factors as a function of ionization potential for O2+ primary ion SIMS and electron affinity for Cs+ primary ion SIMS have been calculated in order to extend quantitation to elements not yet implanted. Examples of depth profiles for implant standards and unimplanted layers are given.

ABSTRACTWe report new measurements of the regrowth behaviour of Pb-implanted SrTiO3 crystals in the presence of water vapour. Doubly labelled water vapour, D218O, at greater than 95% enrichment in each isotope has been added to the annealing ambient and depth profiles of D and 18O have been obtained from the regrown crystals using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The D and 18O content has also been measured by nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) using the reactions D(3He,p)4 He and 18O(p,α)15 N. The crystals were regrown in a conventional furnace under a controlled gas ambient and time-resolved optical reflectivity (TRR) was used to dynamically monitor the regrowth rate during the anneal. An enhancement of the solid-phase epitaxial regrowth rate is observed when water vapour is added to the annealing ambient. This rate increase is accompanied by incorporation of D throughout the regrown layer. 18O is incorporated into the lattice but does not appear to penetrate deep enough to influence the regrowth rate.
