“…However, the ion beam was additionally focused to produce samples shown in Figure 3b. Emerging p-type conductive regions were shaped under the irradiated areas at the depth d i (shaded areas on the inset in Figure 1) [11,12] ; their sizes and arrangement are illustrated in Figure 3.…”

“…[11] In the case of monocrystalline Ge, irradiation by a monoenergetic beam of light ions enables its fundamental modification: formation of p-type electric-conductive areas inside the material (hidden channels, plates, and wires) that is easy to observe experimentally and then compare with the data of other studies. [11,12] To form such layers, one can apply ionic beams similar to those used in the "Smart Cut" technology. [10,13] with necessary energy and fluence.…”

In this work, the effect of Ge sample bombardment by energy Ei = 1.2 MeV mono‐energetic He+ ions within the fluence range of 1013–1.2 × 1015 cm−2 on the microwave reflection/transmission modification in the frequency range of 26–38 GHz is investigated. It is shown for the first time that such Ge treatment allows achieving a drastic increase in its interaction with microwaves. After the 1 µm thick undersurface area of Ge, accounting for less than 10−3 of its bulk, underwent the fluence of 1.2 × 1015 cm−2, the increase of the microwave absorption coefficient from 0.06 to 0.78 and decrease of the microwave reflection coefficient from 0.7 to 0.18 are observed. This is caused by the occurrence of dangling atomic bonds in nanoscale cavities inside the material. Most probable energy loss mechanisms of microwaves in modified Ge are suggested. Modified semiconductor structures can be used as microwave‐absorbing coverings, devices employing a periodic structure of materials or a gradient of its properties.

“…The diameter of the focused beam was 40 m. The irradiation was carried out at the movement of the sample, and the conductive channel 3 mm long and 0.44 mm wide was created. A detailed description of samples and the irradiation technique using the Kyiv ion microprobe are given in [7,11]. The implantation was carried out at room temperature of the samples holder.…”

“…Consequently, the implantation of light ions causes the formation of acceptor-type centers. These centers are associated with defects formed in the course of embedding of protons or -particles [7,10]. The greatest energy losses and formation of stable electrically active defects occur at the end of the stopping distance of particles.…”

The implantation of the high-energy ions of H+ or He+ in germanium leads to the creation of buried conductive channels in its bulk with equal concentrations of acceptor centers. These centers are the structure defects of the crystal lattice which arise in the course of deceleration of high-energy particles. This method of introducing electrically active defects is similar to the doping of semiconductors by acceptor-type impurities. It has been established that the density of defects increases with the implantation dose till ≈5×10^15 cm−2. The further increase of the implantation dose does not affect the level of doping. In the range of applied doses (10^12–6×10^16) cm−2, the Hall mobility of holes in the formed conducting channels is practically independent of the implanted dose and is about (2-3)×10^4 cm2/Vs at 77 K. The doping ofthe germanium by high-energy ions of H+ or He+ to obtain conducting regions with high hole mobility can be used in the microelectronics technology.
