AbstractHigh dose He implantation, followed by a thermal annealing, is a suitable technique for metal gettering. Nevertheless, a strong interaction between the dopants and the defect layer has been evidenced. This can largely influence the dopant distribution. In order to study this interaction, p and n-type samples uniformly doped were implanted with helium (40 keV, 5×1016 He+.cm-2) and furnace annealed for various times and temperatures. In this paper, we shed light on the evolution of the dopant segregation. Using isochronal treatment, we found a large dependence of the dopant gettering phenomenon upon annealing temperature. Moreover, stability of the gettered fraction is observed for isothermal annealing. This study permits also to investigate the origin of the trapping mechanism involved for both boron and phosphorus.

AbstractHigh dose helium implantation followed by a suitable thermal treatment induces defects such as cavities and dislocations. Gettering efficiency of this technique for metallic impurities has been widely proved. Nevertheless, dopants, as well as point defects, interact with this defect layer. Due to the presence of vacancy type defects after helium implantation, boron diffusion can be largely influenced by such a buried layer. In this paper, we study the influence of helium induced defects on boron diffusion. The boron diffusion in presence of these defects has been analyzed as a function of different parameters such as distance between boron profile and defect layer and defect density. Our results demonstrate that the major impact known as boron enhanced diffusion can be partially or completely suppressed depending on parameters of experiments. Moreover, these results clarify the interaction of boron with extended He-induced defects.

Synthesis of a thin, buried dielectric layer to form a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material by high dose oxygen implantation (SIMOX – Separation by IMplanted Oxygen) is becoming an important technology due to the advent of high current (200 mA) oxygen implanters. Recently, reductions in defect densities from 109 cm−2 down to 107 cm−2 or less have been reported. They were achieved with a final high temperature annealing step (1300°C – 1400°C) in conjunction with: a) high temperature implantation or; b) channeling implantation or; c) multiple cycle implantation. However, the processes and conditions for reduction and elimination of precipitates and defects during high temperature annealing are not well understood. In this work we have studied the effect of annealing temperature on defect and precipitate reduction for SIMOX samples which were processed first with high temperature, high current implantation followed by high temperature annealing.

Silicon-based power device performances are largely affected by metal contamination occurring during device manufacturing. Among the usual gettering techniques, recent developments were done on high dose helium implantation. Even though the gettering efficiency of this technique has been demonstrated in device application, the required doses are still extremely high for an industrial application. Recently, it has been shown that the use of H/He co-implantation limits the total requested doses [1]. In this paper, co-implantation of H/He, which has been already used to reduce the dose in the smart-cut® process is explored. The goal of this work is to decrease efficiently the implanted dose maintaining an efficient metallic gettering without degrading the Si surface. The impact of H implantation on He implantation induced defects is carefully studied. The TEM observations have evidenced that hydrogen addition drastically modified the defect band structure and promotes the cavity growth.. Additionally, we demonstrate that an efficient gettering can be obtained.

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.

ABSTRACTThe kinetics of bcc crystallization and subsequent transformations in an Fe43Cr25Ni20B12 glass were monitored by magnetic measurements and X-ray diffrsaction. The metastable bcc phase (ferrite) which forms first transforms to austenite and a boride during isothermal annealing. At low temperatures the ferritegrows without significant partitioning of Fe, Cr and Ni. Increasing the annealing temperature results in alloy partitioning which is directly linked with the ferrite decomposition.

ABSTRACTDuring the chemical ordering of the high anisotropy FePt L10 phase a fcc-→fct structural distortion in the unit cell occurs. Monitoring the stress relaxation time dependencies during isothermal annealing cycles may lead to a better understanding of the L10 ordering kinetics thickness dependencies in thin FePt films. During the isothermal portion of the anneal cycle all films showed an exponentially decaying stress relaxation with time to lower compressive stress states for all temperatures and thickness. The stress relaxation rate increased significantly with an increase in Fe51Pt49 film thickness and annealing temperature. Stress relaxation activation energies of 2.21 eV, 2.40 eV, and 2.96 eV for the 50nm, 25nm, and 10nm Fe51Pt49 films, respectively, were extracted. This correlated well with the observed trends in the post annealed film coercivity, increase of the (001) superlattice L10 peak, and the shifting of the (111) peak position, all indicators of L10 chemical ordering transformation.

Effect of isothermal annealing on the microstructure evolution of the cold-rolled Mg-9Al-1Zn alloy strip was investigated. It is found that the competition between the precipitation of β-Mg17Al12 phase and recrystallization of α-Mg matrix occur under the conditions of various annealing temperature and time. At a low annealing temperature (523K), the β-Mg17Al12 particles precipitate preferentially at locally high deformation area and grow into the lamellar-cluster with an increase in the annealing time, retarding the recrystallization of α-Mg matrix. With raising the annealing temperature (573~623K), both the precipitation of β-Mg17Al12 particles and recrystallization of α-Mg matrix take place. Both recrystallization and grain growth are prone to proceed without precipitation of β-Mg17Al12 particles when the annealing temperature is 673K. A mechanism for the competitive behavior between the precipitation of β-Mg17Al12 phase and recrystallization of α-Mg matrix at various annealing conditions is discussed.
