Luminescent and Structural Properties of Self-Implanted Silicon Layers in Relation to their Fabrication Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Luminescent and structural properties of silicon layers with dislocation-related luminescence have been studied. Silicon ions (100 keV) were implanted into n-FZ-Si wafers at a dose exceeding the amorphization threshold by two orders of magnitude. The implantation was not followed by amorphization of the implanted layers. A post-implantation annealing resulted in the formation of luminescence centers and extended structural defects. Some fundamental aspects and specific features in the properties of dislocation-related luminescence lines and extended structural defects were revealed in relation to the annealing conditions.
