摘要

The recrystallization behavior of a fully amorphized C3H5-molecular-ion-implanted Si substrate surface is evaluated from the Si 2p spectra obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The change in the crystalline fraction of the fully amorphized C3H5-molecular-ion-implanted Si substrate surface after thermal annealing treatment showed a sigmoidal curve and was analyzed using the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami equation. The Avrami index derived was between 2 and 3, which indicated the two-dimensional recrystallization of the surface. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy observations showed that recrystallization from the interior to the surface was partially delayed. Atom probe tomography revealed non-uniformly distributed high-concentration carbon at the amorphous/crystalline interface, which is considered to be the cause of the partial delay of recrystallization. It was concluded that the fully amorphized C3H5-molecular-ion-implanted Si substrate is recrystallized two-dimensionally from crystal islands that first reached the surface owing to the partial delay of the internal recrystallization caused by locally distributed high-concentration carbon.
