Abstract
Phase composition of Fe+ implanted in Si(100) at elevated temperatures was investigated over a wide range of ion current densities. Phases a nd texture were determined by glancing angle XRD. Both FeSi and beta-F eSi2 phases were observed. The phase composition of the synthesized la yers was found to be strongly affected by ion current density. The inc rease of the ion current density at an implantation temperature of 450 degrees C leads to a rise in relative content of beta-FeSi2. This eff ect is explained by the spreading of the Fe profile. Such changes of t he profile are the result of the radiation enhanced diffusion during i mplantation.
