Abstract
Plasma source ion implantation over a period of 30 min, with actual io n implantation times of approximately 15 s, has been studied. Estimate s of steady-state heat diffusion indicate bulk average temperatures of <50-degrees-C. Experimental profiles show nitrogen diffusion up to > 1 mum, indicating surface temperatures of approximately 500-degrees-C. Resultant implantation and diffusion profiles are compared with conve ntional plasma nitrided samples.
