Abstract
We investigate the processes of microrelief formation on a Si(100) surface under irradiation with a Ga+-ion beam with an energy of 30 keV and a fluence of D = 1.25 × 1018–2 × 1019 cm–2 at incident angles of θ = 30°–85°. Within the angular range of θ = 40°–70°, a faceted wavy relief forms on the Si surface, while at θ = 30°, a sinusoidal relief develops. An experimental dependence of the periodic structure wavelength as a function of irradiation time λ(t) ~ tn, where n = 0.33–0.35, is obtained. The average values of relief propagation velocities and their direction relative to the incident ion direction are determined for θ = 30° and 40°, amounting to –5.3 ± 0.6 and –6.3 ± 0.6 nm s–1, respectively. The results are discussed in detail within the framework of existing models of wavelike surface relief formation under ion bombardment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
