The Effect Of Order And Dose Of H And He Sequential Implantation On Defect Formation And Evolution In Silicon

In this paper we study the effect of the order and dose of H and He sequential implantation on H interaction with Si lattice defects. We use systematic infrared absorption measurements to investigate the evolution of hydrogenated point defects complexes during isothermal annealing. This analysis combined with the electron microscopy data led to the identification of the infrared absorption modes corresponding to the formation of the partially amorphized layer. The obtained results provide an important input for the optimization of the implantation conditions in order to achieve fracture in Si in the wide temperature range.
