Optical Reflection Studies of Damage in Ion Implanted Silicon

Abstract

Optical (3–6.5 eV) reflection spectra are presented for crystalline Si implanted at room temperature with 40 keV Sb ions to doses of less than 2×10¹⁵/cm². These spectra, and their deviation from the reflection spectrum of crystalline Si, are discussed in terms of a model based on the average dielectric properties of the implanted region. For samples having a high ion dose (>10¹⁵/cm²) the observed spectra resemble the spectra of sputtered Si films. Anneal characteristics of the reflection spectra are found to be dose dependent. These observations are compared to, and found to substantiate, the results of other experimental techniques for studying lattice damage in Si.
