ABSTRACTThe crystal growth of a seed of cubic SiC into the amorphous material has been investigated by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations. The crystallization process was studied with a set of supercells containing up to 2000 atoms, initially consisting of a 12 Å thick layer of crystalline SiC and a 18 Å thick layer of amorphous SiC at high pressure. The dynamic evolution of crystallization was then followed for several nanoseconds with the simulated annealing technique performed at constant pressure and temperature. The atomic interactions were described by the Tersoff potential. We studied the dependence of the growth process on the crystallographic orientation of the crystalline/amorphous interface by considering three different crystal planes, namely the {100}, {110}, and {111} planes. Within the pressure-temperature range considered in our simulations, we observed the crystal growth only for the {110} and the {111} orientations, but not for the {100} ones. The atomistic details of the growth mechanism are described and discussed.

ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted of Cl+ impact (at 10, 25 and 50 eV) of an initially bare silicon surface, leading to steady state coverage of Cl in a mixed chlorosilyl layer. Our main goal in this study was to compare the MD predictions to models of ion-assisted etching involving the concept of a site balance. For the case of 50 eV Cl+ etching silicon, the coverage vs. exposure results in the simulation could be reasonably well reproduced in a site balance model, but only if the correct parameters in the model were taken from the simulation. The results of the comparison suggest that MD simulations can be helpful in the development of physically sound phenomenological models of ion-assisted etching.
