Helium Implantation Damage in SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

Single crystals SiC were implanted with 50 keV helium ions at room temperature and fluences in the range 1x1016 -1x1017 cm-2. The helium implantation induced swelling was studied through the measurement of the step height. The damage was studied by using X-ray diffraction measurements and the transmission electron microscopy observations. Degradation of mechanical properties is found after helium implantation.
