Silicone implant

The implanted ion can be singly or multiply charged and can be any isotope. The mass separation system is used to avoid contamination. As an example, when implanting silicon the isotope is often used instead of to avoid contamination from the signals. After mass...

This brings us to the subject of standards. In this connection a standard is simply a sample with a known hydrogen content that is used for convenience to calibrate the overall counting efficiency of a particular setup, i.e., to determine the factor AfICalibration standards must be stable under irradiation. While plastic foils of known composition can be used if precautions are taken (Rudolph et al., 1986), their intrinsic instability makes them unsuitable. The standard used by most groups is hydrogen-implanted silicon, which has the advantages that it is easily prepared, the implanted dose can be measured to 5%, and the amount of implanted hydrogen is stable at room temperature and under MeV 15N irradiation, as discussed later. 

There is some disagreement in the literature as to the value of the (4He, H) elastic scattering cross section. Values differing by almost a factor of two have been reported, as reviewed by Paszti et al. (1986). The cross section is strongly non-Rutherford, but ab initio calculations have been reported that agree well with the trend of experimental data and could be used in simulation calculations (Tirira et al., 1990). The cross section for deuterium analysis has a resonance near a 4He+ energy of 2.15 MeV, which allows enhanced sensitivity. Detailed measurements of this cross section have been reported by Besenbacher et al. (1986). In practice, rather than calculate an experiment s calibration from first principles, calibration standards are usually used hydrogen-implanted silicon standard are the norm. 

The experimental data show that most of the deuterium atoms in the samples examined occupy bond-center sites. The attribution of this site comes both from the observation of a flux peak in the 111 plane (Fig. 11), and of a dip in the (110) axial channel (Fig. 12), together with the channeling simulations shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. Just as in the case of FI-implanted silicon, the qualitative observation of a flux peak in the 111 planar data rules out any possibility of a back-bonded site for the 2H, although some calculations of the B—H structure have suggested this site. The data were analyzed on the assumption that they could be fitted by a combination of a small number of sites of high symmetry. First, the excess hydrogen, i.e., the part of the hydrogen concentration in Fig. 8...

In silicon, all the substitutional group-V elements display a characteristic donor behaviour, except nitrogen whose most stable configuration in silicon is the electrically-inactive interstitial split pair (Fig. 2.6). The observation of the ESR spectrum (SL5) of isolated substitutional nitrogen in laser-annealed N-implanted silicon has been reported by Brower [31]. This centre shows a trigonal distortion along a axis and it is stable up to 400°C a value of Ec — 0.33 eV for the N+/N0 level has been given by Murakami et al. [175], but no discrete electronic absorption associated with this centre has been reported. 

In CZ silicon, Li can be trapped as a neighbour of electrically-inactive Oj, giving rise to (Li,0) donor complexes, and six such donors denoted A, B, C, D, E, and F were reported with ionization energies1 of 39.7, 39.3, 38.7, 38.2, 36.6, and 35.4 meV, respectively [76]. At a difference with isolated Li, the deepest ground state of these (Li,0) donors is ls(Ai) [115]. From the results of Hall-effect measurements on Na-implanted silicon samples [276], the ionization energy of interstitial Na has been estimated to lie between 35 and 38 meV. 

Detailed information about the evolution of Si-H complexes in H ion-implanted silicon were gained by the infrared vibrational studies of Weldon et al. (1997) and Chabal et al. (1999). Implanted H atoms form complexes of the form VxHy or IxHy, where V denotes a silicon vacancy and / denotes silicon interstitial. Also observed was the so-called H2 complex, a hydrogen molecule formation in which one H atom is located at the bond-centered site and the other at the antibond site, with a silicon lattice atom residing between the H2 bonds. Upon annealing of the H ion-implanted samples, the IR studies uncover a net loss of bound hydrogen...

The nominal H ion implantation dose in the Ion-Cut application for the production of SOI is 5 x 1016 cm-2. At this implantation dose, cleavage of the H-implanted silicon wafer can be accomplished easily by annealing at around 400°C for several minutes, depending on the conductivity type of the silicon and the dopant concentration.
