Abstract
In this paper, we present the results of a three-crystal X-ray diffractometry (XRD) study of the state of a disturbed layer formed in silicon crystals by implantation of hydrogen ions with energies of 100 + 200 + 300 keV and a total dose of 2 × 1016 cm–2 during the subsequent heat exposure in the temperature range from 200 to 1100°C. Here, X-ray studies were performed in the three-crystal XRD scheme when the sample under consideration operates as a second stationary crystal with various fixed angular detuning α from the Bragg position while the third (perfect) crystal-analyzer sweeps the angular distribution of radiation diffracted by the second crystal. Based on a comparison of the shape of diffraction and diffuse maxima for the samples under study, a qualitative conclusion about a significant transformation of radiation defects at post-implantation annealing was derived.
