Popis: The effect of He+ ion implantation and subsequent annealing on the silicon-on-sapphire microstructure is studied by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. It is established that He+ ion implantation leads to the formation of defects in the Si layer and α-Al2O3, while subsequent annealing causes dissociation of radiation defects in Si and formation of nanopores in α-Al2O3. The effect of implanted-ion dose and annealing temperature on the parameters of the porous α-Al2O3 layer and structural quality of the Si layer is investigated.
