ABSTRACTMicrostructure and thermal stability of ZrN/ZrB2 bilayer deposited on GaN have been studied using transmission electron microscopy methods (TEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). It has been demonstrated that annealing of the contact structure at 1100°C in N2 atmosphere does not lead to any observable metal/semiconductor interaction. In contrast, a failure of the integrity of ZrN/ZrB2 metallization at 800°C, when the heat treatment is performed in O2 ambient has been observed.

AbstractStructural transformations in Ni/Si-based contacts to GaN occurring under heat treatment have been studied using transmission electron microscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Transition from non-ohmic to ohmic behavior correlates with reaction between Ni and Si, and decomposition of the initially formed interfacial Ni:Ga:N layer. Transport of dopant atoms from metallization into GaN testifies in favour of the SPR process of ohmic contact formation

AbstractThe interactions between thin films of Zn and (100)InP were analysed with secondary ion mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Zn was found to penetrate the native oxide on InP surface during deposition, and to form an ohmic contact when deposited on n-type InP. Under heat treatment Zn protrudes into InP, and beneath Zn/InP interface a tetragonal Zn3P2 phase lattice matched to InP grows.

Structural disorder and lattice recovery of high dose, manganese implanted, semi-insulating, 4H-SiC have been studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry, Rutherford backscattering in channeling directions, visible-to-near infrared optical spectroscopy as well as with transmission electron microscopy. After heat treatment at 1400 and 1600 °C, a substantial rearrangement of manganese is observed in the implanted region. However, the crystal has not been fully recovered. More disorder remains in the [11 3] compared to the [0001] channel direction. Stacking faults, voids and 3C inclusions are observed in the implanted region. A Mn containing phase has most likely formed.

AbstractSingle-crystal n -Si(100) wafers are implanted with ^64Zn^+ ions with an energy of 50 keV and dose of 5 × 10^16 cm^–2. Then the samples are irradiated with ^132Xe^26+ ions with an energy of 167 MeV in the range of fluences from 1 × 10^12 to 5 × 10^14 cm^–2. The surface and cross section of the samples are visualized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The distribution of implanted Zn atoms is studied by time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry. After irradiation with Xe, surface pores and clusters consisting of a Zn–ZnO mixture are observed at the sample surface. In the amorphized subsurface Si layer, zinc and zinc-oxide phases are detected. After irradiation with Xe with a fluence of 5 × 10^14 cm^–2, no zinc or zinc-oxide clusters are detected in the samples by the methods used in the study.
