When an energetic ion penetrates through an interface between a thin film (of species A) and a substrate (of species B), ion induced atomic mixing may result in an intermixed region (which contains A and B) near the interface. Most ion beam mixing experiments have been directed toward metal-silicon systems, silicide phases are generally obtained, and they are the same as those formed by thermal treatment.Recent emergence of silicide compound as contact material in silicon microelectronic devices is mainly due to the superiority of the silicide-silicon interface in terms of uniformity and thermal stability. It is of great interest to understand the kinetics of the interfacial reactions to provide insights into the nature of ion beam-solid interactions as well as to explore its practical applications in device technology.About 500 Å thick molybdenum was chemical vapor deposited in hydrogen ambient on (001) n-type silicon wafer with substrate temperature maintained at 650-700°C. Samples were supplied by D. M. Brown of General Electric Research & Development Laboratory, Schenectady, NY.

Low Temperature Epitaxy

ABSTRACTComputer simulations of III-V molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) show that surface reconstruction induced modulation of kinetic rates could give rise to ordering in alloys. Results are also presented for the possible influence of an external ion beam in achieving low temperature epitaxy as well as smoother growth front under usual conditions.

ABSTRACTThin foils of Zircaloy-4 were irradiated with 350 KeV 40Ar ions in the dual ion beam/HVEM facility at Argonne National Laboratory at 300 – 650 K. The irradiation-induced araorphization of the intermetallic precipitates Zr (Cr, Fe)2 and Zr2 (Ni, Fe) was studied in situ. For Zr (Cr,Fe)2 precipitates the dose-to-amorphization was found to increase exponentially with temperature, with a critical temperature of about 650 K. The amorphization morphology was shown to be homogeneous, with no preferential site for nucleation, in contrast to neutron-irradiation amorphization which started at the precipitate-matrix interface. For Zr2 (Ni,Fe) precipitates it was found that amorphization occurred at 550 K and 600 K, whereas in neutron irradiation no amorphization has been observed at those temperatures. The results are discussed in the context of the previous experimental results of neutron and electron irradiation and likely amorphization mechanisms are proposed.

ABSTRACTIon beams of keV and MeV energies have been used to bombard amorphous Si (a-Si), which had previously been annealed (‘relaxed’). Analysis by Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry shows that when 1 out of every 20 Si atoms is displaced by a nuclear collision, the a-Si returns to its unrelaxed state and cannot be distinguished from as implanted a-Si. Moreover, the kinetics of the heat release on annealing of similarly bombarded crystalline Si (c-Si) are qualitatively identical to those of structural relaxation in a-Si. This implies that the population of ion beam induced defects in a-Si is very similar to that in c-Si. It also shows that defect annihilation is an important ingredient in the mechanism of structural relaxation of a-Si.
