ABSTRACTAn Fe-i % C alloy has been implanted at approximately 600 °C with V to a fluence of 5 × 1017 ions/cm2 and with Nb to a fluence of 3 × 1017 ions/cm2. For both implantations, Auger analysis showed that a nominally stoichiometric metal carbide layer formed beneath the surface. Below this layer, which was depleted of Fe, the metal carbide concentration decreased gradually, giving a continually graded interface with the bulk. TEM analysis showed a continuous layer of fine-grained VC or NbC, which displayed a preferred Baker-Nutting orientation relation with the underlying a-Fe matrix.

Ion implantation is one of many critical processes in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. While device geometries have been shrinking, the implant dose has typically been increasing. Historically, photoresist removal has been achieved through a combination of plasma “ashing” and a subsequent wet clean, often using a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide at elevated temperature. The “piranha” or SPM strip is often followed by an ammonia based clean such as APM to remove particles and sulfate residues from the device. However, device constraints are presently having difficulty accommodating the film loss, surface roughening, high molecular temperatures and hot electron injection which may accompany a plasma ash. [1] The APM clean is also having to undergo modification in order to minimize oxide loss which would adversely affect device performance.
