Abstract

Nitrogen implantation has been performed in silicon [001] crystals in carefully controlled alignment conditions. The channeling effects are clearly evident when implanting in [001] and [011] directions at energies ranging from 0.6 to 1.4 MeV. Both ion distribution and damage profiles are strongly influenced by channeling effects during ion implantation. The angular region around the [001] direction has been also investigated by implanting at small angles with respect to the axis. The same kind of study has been performed by implanting at different angles with respect to the planar (01 1) direction. The ion distributions (investigated by SIMS) show a strong dependence upon the alignment conditions. Moreover in high energy ion implantation, the lattice damage is located deep inside the crystal, leaving the surface layer almost unperturbed. The channeling effects on the damage production have been investigated by double crystal diffraction (DCD) in the low-dose regime and by RBS-channeling experiments (after implantation at doses greater than 1 x 10(15) cm-2) and for different ion alignment conditions. A big increase in the ion ranges and a strong reduction in the lattice damage is evident when implanting along major crystal axes. No saturation of the lattice damage and of the channelled component of the beam has been detected if the implantation is performed parallel to the [011] axis. The combined use of SIMS, RBS-channeling and double crystal X-ray diffraction allow a rather complete description of the ion-crystal interaction.
