Abstract

High doses of Ti, Ni, Mo, or W ions were implanted at elevated temperatures either conventionally or using a MEVVA ion source into ion beam synthesized Si/SiC/Si or SiC/Si layer structures in order to create metallic layers contacting the SiC. The depth distribution of metal atoms and the formation of silicide and carbide phases as well as the formation of cavities at the lower SiC/Si interface are studied by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and cross‐sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). A brief survey of the effects ocurring in the ion beam metallization of SiC films is given and the benefit of using ion beams for metallization of thin films is elucidated.
