Irradiation of Monocrystalline Silicon with a High-Power Pulsed Beam of Carbon Ions and Protons
摘要
Abstract
The surface of monocrystalline silicon irradiated with a high-power pulsed beam of carbon ions and protons is studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The surface is irradiated using a TEMP-2 accelerator in a vacuum of ~10–3 Pa. The ion beam consists of 70% carbon ions (C+ + C+2) and 30% protons. The sample is irradiated with one pulse with a dose of 1.5 × 1013 ions/cm2. Craters characterized by a hexagonal shape are obtained on the silicon surface. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the presence of carbon content inside the crater.
