Pulsed Beams and Ion-Beam Mixing: Metal-Si and Metalmetal Structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Energy deposition and heat-flow determine the temperature distributions in pulsed-beam irradiated structures. In laser irradiated Si, transient conductance measurements indicated a liquid/solid interface velocity of 2.8 m/sec during crystallization in agreement with a heat flow model. With pulsed ionbeam annealing of metal-Si structures, melting starts at the interface; epitaxial NiSi2 layers have been formed. Ion-beammixing experiments on polycrystalline and epitaxial Au-Ag bilayers show that intermixing is more pronounced in the polycrystalline structures as is the case with thermal annealing. Superlattice structures are formed in the epitaxial structures.
