Notes:
Using energy-loss spectroscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, electron diffraction, and He+-ion channeling the reaction of Fe during implantation into Si(111) has been investigated at various target temperatures and implantation doses. In samples implanted at 275 °C with 2.8×1017 Fe+ cm−2 a continuous α-FeSi2 layer accompanied by α-phase precipitates is formed. At 450 °C Fe agglomerates mostly in α-phase precipitates with only a few being β-FeSi2. At 350 °C 1×1017 Fe+ cm−2 produce precipitates electronically close to FeSi2 but crystallographically poorly defined. At 4×1017 Fe+ cm−2 a β-FeSi2 layer is formed at the surface and a 20-nm-thick α-FeSi2 one followed by α-FeSi2 precipitates deeper in the volume. Channeling reveals a minimum yield decreasing with dose indicating improved α-phase crystal quality. A sharp increase at 3.3×1017 cm−2 indicates an α–β phase transition. FeSi has not been detected. Precipitates of well defined silicide phases are formed already during implantation. Dose and temperature have a profound influence on the phase formed.
