摘要
Low-temperature solid-phase epitaxial regrowth of amorphous silicon (a-Si) is reported for an ion-amorphized Ni/Si structure. The epitaxial regrowth follows after monosilicide formation upon heating to only 425-degrees-C, as evidenced by Rutherford backscattering and channeling measurements and transmission electron microscopy. The regrowth rate of the a-Si layer (thickness approximately 600 angstrom) is enhanced by more than a factor of 300 compared with ordinary solid-phase epitaxy of ion-implanted a-Si. This is attributed to results from redistribution of Ni towards the a-Si/c-Si interface, as shown by secondary ion mass spectrometry, where the presence of Ni, or Ni-silicide nuclei, enhances the solid-phase epitaxy.
