ABSTRACTIsothermal annealing, two step annealing and ion beam mixing were performed to induce interfacial reactions between iron thin films and silicon substrate. Both orthorhombic and tetragonal FeSi2 were found to grow epitaxially on (lll)Si with orthorhombic FeSi2 being the predominant phase. No epitaxial growth of FeSi2 on (001)Si was detected. Epitaxial islands as large as 40 μm in size were formed by a scheme combining ion beam mixing and two step annealing.

Ion beam mixing has recently been found to be an effective method of producing amorphous alloys in the binary metal systems where the two original constituent metals are of different crystal structure. The mechanism of ion beam mixing are not well understood yet. Several mechanisms have been proposed to account for the observed mixing phenomena. The first mechanism is enhanced diffusion due to defects created by the incoming ions. Second is the cascade mixing mechanism for which the kinematicel collisional models exist in the literature. Third mechanism is thermal spikes. In the present work we have studied the mixing efficiency and ion beam induced amorphisation of Ni-Ti system under high energy ion bombardment and the results are compared with collisional models. We have employed plan and x-sectional veiw TEM and RBS techniques in the present work.

ABSTRACTRecent progress in low energy ion-surface interactions, and the early stages of ion-assisted epitaxy of semiconductor thin films is described. Advances in three areas are discussed: dynamics of displacements and defect incorporation, nucleation mechanisms, and the use of ion bombardment to modify epitaxial growth kinetics in atrulysurface-selective manner.
