ABSTRACT30-keV focused Ga+ ion beam was used for induced deposition of small-area tungsten thin films from W(CO)6 on Si and SiO2. Deposition yield, calculated assuming pure tungsten depositions, depends on dwell time (beam diameter/scan speed) and beam current density. High current density and/or long dwell time are known to cause low deposition yield because of the depletion of adsorbed gas molecules during ion beam irradiation. Based on a model taking this effect into account, numerical fitting was carried out. The reaction cross-section was estimated to be 1.4 × 10−14 cm2. For doses below 1017 ions/cm2, film resistivity decreases with increasing dose. This was confirmed for several dwell times. However, for doses above 1017 ions/cm2, film resistivity remains independent of dose. In this “high”-dose range, variation of beam current density has little effect on film resistivity. AES analyses revealed a consistency between film composition and resistivity. For a “high”-dose film with a resistivity of 190 μΩ-cm, the approximate tungsten content was 50 at%.

ABSTRACTThin SiC layers were synthesized by high dose C implantation into silicon using a metal vapor vacuum arc ion source at various conditions. Characterization of the ion beam synthesized SiC layers was performed using various techniques including x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption, and Raman spectroscopy. The XPS results showed that for samples with over-stoichiometric implant doses, if the implant beam current density was not high enough, even after prolonged thermal annealing at high temperatures, the as-implanted gaussian-like carbon depth profile remained unchanged. However, if the implant beam current density was sufficiently high, there was significant carbon redistribution during annealing, so that a thicker stoichiometric SiC layer can be formed after annealing. The XPS and Raman results also showed that there were carbon clusters formed in the as-implanted layers for the low beam current density implanted samples, while the formation of such carbon clusters was minimal in the high beam current density as-implanted samples. The effect of beam current density on the fraction of different bonding states of the implanted carbon atoms was studied.

ABSTRACTHigh dose iron implantation into silicon substrates has been performed with a metal vapor vacuum arc ion source to doses ranging from 5×1016 to 2×1017 cm'2 at various beam current densities. The magnetoresistance (MR) effects in these implanted granular layers were studied at temperatures from 15K to 300K. A positive MR effect, i.e., an increase in the resistance at the presence of a magnetic field, was observed at temperatures lower than about 40K in samples prepared under appropriate implantation conditions. The magnitude of the MR effect, defined as ΔR/Ro ≡ (R(H)-Ro)/Ro where R(H) and Ro denote respectively the resistance value at a magnetic field intensity H and that at zero field, was found to depend not only on the implantation dose but also on the beam current density. This is attributed to the beam heating effect during implantation which affects the formation of the microstructures. The ratio δR/Ro was found to attain high values larger than 400% for some samples at low temperatures. The dependence of the MR effects on temperature, implantation dose, and beam current density will be presented and discussed in conjunction with results of transmission electron microscopy.

AbstractWe propose a method for the formation of porous germanium ( P -Ge) layers containing silver nanoparticles by means of high-dose implantation of low-energy Ag^+ ions into single-crystalline germanium ( c -Ge). This is demonstrated by implantation of 30-keV Ag^+ ions into a polished c -Ge plate to a dose of 1.5 × 10^17 ion/cm^2 at an ion beam-current density of 5 μA/cm^2. Examination by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic-force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis, and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) showed that the implantation of silver ions into c -Ge surface led to the formation of a P -Ge layer with spongy structure comprising a network of interwoven nanofibers with an average diameter of ∼10–20 nm Ag nanoparticles on the ends of fibers. It is also established that the formation of pores during Ag^+ ion implantation is accompanied by effective sputtering of the Ge surface.

The aim of this work is to study the expansion in vacuum, of a positive ion beam with the use of one dimensional (1D) analytic model and a two dimensional Particle-In-Cell (2D-PIC) simulation. The ion beam is extracted and accelerated from preformed plasma by an extraction system composed of two polarized parallel perforated grids. The results obtained with both approaches reveal the presence of a potential barrier downstream the extraction system which tends to reflect the ion flux. The dependence of the critical distance for which all extracted ions are reflected, is investigated as a function of the extracted ion beam current density. In particular, it is shown that the 1D model recovers the well-known Child-Langmuir law and that the 2D simulation presents a significant discrepancy with respect to the 1D prediction. Indeed, for a given value of current density, the transverse effects lead to a greater critical distance.
