Abstract

The molecular ions O +2 and NO+ are implanted at room temperature into single-crystal silicon with an energy of E=6 keV/atom at fluences ranging from 2.5×1016 to 3.5×1017 at/cm2. The samples are processed by electron beam rapid thermal annealing at 1100 °C for 15 s. The depth distributions of the implanted specimens (18O) are determined by nuclear reaction analyses using the reaction 18O(p,α)15N. Channeling-RBS measurements are performed to obtain the interface structure between the implanted layer and the single-crystal Si substrate. The chemical bonding state of as-implanted and implanted-annealed specimens is observed by FTIR ellipsometry measurements.
