AbstractWe combine molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations to study damage accumulation and dose rate effects during irradiation of Silicon. We obtain the initial stage of the damage produced by heavy and light ions using classical molecular dynamics simulations. While heavy ions like As or Pt induce amorphization by single ion impact, light ions like B only produce point defects or small clusters of defects. The amorphous pockets generated by heavy ions are stable below room temperature and recrystallize at temperatures below the threshold for recrystallization of a planar amorphous-crystalline interface. The damage accumulation during light ion irradiation is simulated using a Monte Carlo model for defect diffusion. In this approach, we study the damage in the lattice as a function of dose and dose rate. A strong reduction in the total number of defects left in the lattice is observed for lower dose rates.

AbstractThe evolution of pre-existing damage structures in Si under high energy ion irradiation is discussed. Different initial morphologies are investigated: a sample partially pre-damaged with heavy ions and a sample partially pre-damaged with light ions are compared within them and with an undamaged single crystal. It is shown that ion irradiation can produce either damage accumulation, in the form of amorphous regions, or damage annealing depending on the pre-existing damage morphology, on the substrate temperature, and on the doping content in the irradiated layer. These data are discussed and interpreted on the basis of the existing models on ion induced amorphization and crystallization.

AbstractDamage nucleation in single crystals of silicon during ion irradiation is investigated. Experimental results and mechanisms for damage nucleation during both room and liquid nitrogen temperature irradiation with different mass ions are discussed. It is shown that the accumulation of damage during room temperature irradiation depends on the rate of implantation. These dose rate effects are found to decrease in magnitude as the mass of the ions is increased. The significance of dose rate effects and their mass dependence on nucleation mechanisms is discussed.

ABSTRACTDamage formation during ion implantation is a complex process that cannot accurately be modeled by binary collision simulations alone. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are suited to describe the quenching of collision cascades, while thermally activated processes may be treated with the kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method.MD and kMC simulations have widely but separately been used to investigate damage accumulation and annealing in silicon. Simulation of ion implantation at room temperature, however, requires both methods to be coupled. In this paper we describe for the first time a scheme of the coupling between MD and lattice kMC for damage accumulation. Using this scheme we study the dynamic annealing behavior of implantation damage for heavy and light ions.
