Af. Vyatkin et Ay. Kuznetsov, POINT-DEFECT INDUCED SPE GROWTH OF NI IMPLANTED SILICON, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 96(1-2), 1995, pp. 271-275
In the present paper the solid phase epitaxial (SPE) growth and silici
dation in Ni-implanted silicon have been studied. The dependences obse
rved have been explained in terms of the phenomenological model of the
SPE growth and proposed mechanism of the point defect emission during
the silicide formation. It is shown that the flux of interstitial typ
e point defects onto the amorphous-crystalline interface enhances the
rate of the SPE growth.
