摘要:
Tantalum was sputter deposited on (111) Si substrate under low‐energy ion bombardment in order to study the effects of the ion energy on the silicon transport into the Ta layer. The Si substrate was heated up to 500 °C during growth. For ion energies up to 180 eV silicon is not transported into tantalum and the growth temperature has no effect. An ion bombardment energy of 280 eV enhances the transport of silicon throughout the tantalum layer. Growth temperatures up to 300 °C have no effect on the silicon transport which is mainly enhanced by the ion bombardment. For growth temperatures between 300 and 500 °C, the silicon transport is also enhanced by the thermal diffusion. The experimental depth distribution of silicon is similar to the theoretical depth distribution calculated for the case of an interdiffusion. The ion‐enhanced process of silicon transport is characterized by an activation energy of 0.4 eV. Silicon into the layers as‐grown at 500 °C is in both states, amorphous silicide and microcrystalline cubic silicon.
