Structure of Magnetically Ordered Si:Mn

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structure studies of single crystalline silicon implanted at 340 K or 610 K with Mn+ ions (Si:Mn) and subsequently processed under atmospheric and enhanced hydrostatic pressure at up to 1270 K are reported. The defect structure was determined by an analysis of X-ray diffuse scattering around the 004 reciprocal lattice point and by electron microscopy. High resolution X-ray diffraction techniques based on the conventional source of radiation were used for this purpose. The crystal structure of Si:Mn and the Si1-xMnx precipitates in the implantation – disturbed layer were studied by synchrotron radiation diffraction in the grazing incidence geometry. Processing of Si:Mn results in crystallization of amorphous Si within the buried implantation – disturbed layer and in formation of Mn4Si7 precipitates. Structural changes are dependent both on temperature of the Si substrate at implantation and on processing parameters.
