Abstract:Silicon oxide films ( > 1μm ) were grown at room-temperature after low-energy copper-ion implantation of Si(100) substrates. The structural properties of the silicon oxide layer and the implanted silicon were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and transmission-electron microscopy. During room temperature oxidation a portion of the implanted copper resided on the surface and a portion moved with the advancing Si/SiOx interface. This study revealed that the oxide growth rate was dependent… Show more
