Abstract

The β-SiC formation process through post-implantation annealing of Si-C mixtures fabricated on Si by C-ion implantation at room temperature is studied by means of infrared absorption spectroscopy. It is shown that the formation of B-SiC from the Si-C mixtures is greatly enhanced by the subsequent irradiation of other energetic ions prior to the thermal annealing. The continuous amorphization of the Si-C mixed layers is considered to be the dominant cause for the enhancement of the B-SiC formation. The activation energy of the β-SiC formation process which is 5.3 eV without irradiation is reduced to 4.0 eV by the irradiation of 150 keV, 1 × 1017/cm2 Ar ions.
