ABSTRACTResults of a computer simulation of Ostwald ripening during ion beam synthesis of a SIMOX layer are presented. Based on investigations of the as-implanted state the simulation starts with equal-sized SiO2 precipitates, homogeneously distributed in a layer. The simulation shows clearly that Ostwald ripening forms structures in such a system by means of self-organisation.This structure forming process explains in a simple and consistent manner structures of in the concentration profile like ”humps”, ”spikes” and ”banding”, which have been observed experimentally.

ABSTRACTHeteroepitaxial CoxNi1−xSi2 layers with good crystalline quality have been formed by ion beam synthesis. Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) - Channeling, Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) have been used to study the buried layers. For a sample with x=0.66, we found that this ternary silicide layer contains 11% type B and 89% type A orientation. The TEM investigation reveals that the type B component is mainly located at the interfaces with a thickness of a few monolayers. XRD studies show that the strain of the type B component is smaller than that of the type A component, and this is probably the reason for such a unique distribution of the type B component in the epilayer.

AbstractHomogenous, epitaxial buried layers of 3C-SÍC have been formed in Si(100) and Si(lll) by ion beam synthesis (IBS) using 180 keV high dose C ion implantation. It is shown that an annealing temperature of 1250 °C and annealing times of 5 to 10 h are sufficient to achieve well-defined Si/SiC/Si layer systems with abrupt interfaces. The influence of dose, annealing time and temperature on the layer formation is studied. The favourable dose is observed to be dependent on the substrate orientation. IBS using 0.8 MeV C ions resulted in a buried SiC precipitate layer of variable composition.
