Dual-energy carbon implantation (l × 10[sup 16]/cm² at 150 and at 220 keV) was performed on 260-nm-thick undoped metastable pseudomorphic Si(100)/Ge[sub 0.08]Si[sub 0.92] with a 450-nm-thick SiO[sub 2] capping layer, at either room temperature or at 100 °C. After removal of the SiO[sub 2] the samples were measured using backscattering/channeling spectrometry and double-crystal x-ray diffractometry. A 150-nm-thick amorphous layer was observed in the room temperature implanted samples. This layer was found to have regrown epitaxially after sequential annealing at 550 °C for 2 h plus at 700 °C for 30 min. Following this anneal, tensile strain, believed to result from a large fraction of substitutional carbon in the regrown layer, was observed. Compressive strain, that presumably arises from the damaged but nonamorphized portion of the GeSi layer, was also observed. This strain was not significantly affected by the annealing treatment. For the samples implanted at 100 °C, in which case no amorphous layer was produced, only compressive strain was observed. For samples implanted at both room temperature and 100 °C, the channelled backscattering yield from the Si substrate was the same as that of the virgin sample. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
