Abstract
Strained Si and its related materials, such as strained SiGe and strained silicon-carbon alloy (Si-C), are receiving tremendous interest due to their high carrier mobility. In this study we carry out a basic investigation of the change in microstructure of ion-implanted Si-C solid solution caused by rapid thermal annealing, because it is very important to realize a field-effect transistor made of this new material. The microstructures of arsenic-ion-, boron-ion-, and silicon-ion-implanted Si0.99C0.01 specimens upon thermal annealing are observed using transmission electron microscopy, and it is revealed that the rate of solid-state crystallization of ion-implanted Si-C is slower than that of the ion-implanted Si.
