Implantation of ion

In this process step an etchant (gas or liquid) removes the Si02 where it is not protected by the photoresist. Ions are implanted into the unprotected silicium. With the implantation of ions the structure of the surface will be changed. 

Figure 1 shows the IR spectra of H2O ice as deposited (16 K) and after implantation of 30 keV ions at two different ion fluences (6 and 20 x 10 ions cm ). The Figure clearly exhibits the formation of H2O2 that is formed whatever is the used ion as already well known and C02 that is formed because of the implantation of ions. 

We have also conducted experiments by implanting 15 keV N ions in pure H2O ice and we searched for the formation of species such as N2O, NO and NO2 by looking at their features at about 2235, 1878 and 1612 cm respectively. A comparison between IR spectra obtained after implantation of ions with that obtained after irradiation of a mixture H20 N2=1 1 with 60 keV Ar" demonstrated that N-bearing species are easily formed after irradiation of mixtures already containing nitrogen, but there was no clear evidence of their formation after implantation of nitrogen in water.

Ionization chambers (W) for implantation of ions in the doping of silicon wafers. 

For 100 keV implantation of ions (singly ionized molecules) what is the velocity of the molecules If the molecule breaks into two As ions when it hits the Si, what is the projected range of the As ions ... 

The steady-state surface concentrations are relatively easy to obtain. Consider the implantation of ion species A into the host material B, where NA and VB are the concentrations (per unit volume) of A atoms and B atoms, respectively, at the surface of the sample. Therefore NA/NB represents the surface composition. Let JA and JB be the flux of sputtered atomic species A and B, respectively. Then...

Ion implantation. Polymers, when exposed to proper ion beams, can become conducting due to the implantation of ions in the polymer s lattice, which form covalent bonds with the material. The doping level depends on the energy of the ion beam. 

In more recent times, with the use of ion beams to clean the surfaces of ceramic substrates, implantation of ions into the surfaces has been brought about with consequent changes in the mechanical properties of such surfaces, and this can be probed in a nondestructive way by using the ISE following the development of a model such as that which follows. 

Sub-plantation (film growth) The implantation of ions or atoms within the first few lattice layers of a growing film or coating.
