Abstract

Ion beam annealing of amorphous Si(100) layers formed by co-implantation of overlapping Ga and As distributions is studied. Annealing was done using 750 keV Si+ ions with the Si substrate held at 300°C. The samples were characterized using 2.0 and 5.0 MeV He+ backscattering/channeling as well as by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Crystallization of the amorphous Si layer occurs during irradiation via solid-phase-epitaxial growth without impurity precipitation or segregation. Both the Ga and As are mainly substitutional in the Si lattice, even at concentrations in excess of 7 at. % for each species. These results are attributed to compensation effects, most likely through ion pairing of the dopants.
