Abstract

Si single crystal was implanted with 230 keV He+ ions to a fluence of 5 × 1016/cm2 at 600 °C. The structural defects in Si implanted with He at 600 °C and then annealed at 1000 °C were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The microstructure of an as-implanted sample is provided for comparison. After annealing, rod-like defects were diminished, while tangled dislocations and large dislocation loops appeared. Dislocation lines trapped by cavities were directly observed. The cavities remained stable except for a transition of shape, from octahedron to tetrakaidecahedron. Stacking-fault tetrahedrons were found simultaneously. Cavity growth was independent of dislocations. The evolution of observed lattice defects is discussed.
