The process of GaAs and InAs substrates high-temperature annealing under the Langmuir evaporation conditions is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The temperature range of gallium arsenide and indium arsenide congruent and incongruent evaporation are determined. It was demonstrated that the congruent evaporation temperature Tc is sensitive to the vicinal surface terrace width. The decrease of the terrace width results in a decrease in the congruent evaporation temperature. The Ga and In diffusion lengths along the (111)A and (111)B surfaces at congruent temperatures are estimated. The surface morphology transformation kinetic during high-temperature annealing is analyzed.

ABSTRACTIn this work a formalism for the evaluation of electronic losses of heavy ions with energy of few MeV in crystalline semiconductor targets is presented. The stopping values are used in a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the ion range in silicon and in gallium arsenide for a random orientation of the target and under channelling conditions.

In this paper we study the effect of chemical environment and elastic strains, which can arise in layered heterostructures due to the lattice parameter mismatch, on the vacancy formation energy in random Si-Ge compounds. Ab initio calculations demonstrate a number of simple trends characterizing the vacancy formation energy dependence on vacancy charge, the number of Ge atoms in its neighbourhood and on the magnitude of elastic strains. The obtained parameters of vacancy-germanium interaction indicate, in particular, a tendency for preferential vacancy accumulation in SiGe region of Si/SiGe/Si layered structures, which is confirmed here by Monte- Carlo simulation of high-temperature vacancy annealing and agrees well with recent experimental observations.

ABSTRACTWe use a kinetic Monte Carlo model to simulate the implantation of low energy Boron in Silicon, from 0.5 to 1 keV, at high doses, 1015 ions/cm2. The damage produced by each ion is calculated using UT-Marlowe, based on a binary collision approximation. During implantation at room temperature,, silicon self-interstitials, vacancies and boron interstitials are allowed to migrate and interact. The diffusion kinetics of these defects and dopants has been obtained by ab initio calculations as well as Stillinger Weber molecular dynamics. Clustering of both self-interstitials, vacancies and boron atoms is included. We also model the diffusion of the implanted dopants after a high temperature annealing in order to understand the transient enhanced diffusion (TED) phenomenon. We observe two different stages of TED During the first stage vacancies are present in the lattice together with interstitials and the diffusion enhancement is small. The second stage starts after all the vacancies disappear and gives rise to most of the final TED.
