Abstract

Variations in the local order of the amorphous phase of Si produced by ion implantation and subjected to rapid thermal annealing were studied using the Raman scattering technique. It was found that the low order amorphous phase was formed independently of implantation ion species for low dose, low energy implantation at room temperature. For high energy, high dose implantation with heavy ions, the ion beam annealing effects were apparent and the higher order amorphous phase was formed. Rapid thermal annealing produced transformation from the low order phase to the high order amorphous phase. The continuous transformation was completed when the detectable crystalline phase regrowth started.
