Abstract

Silicon samples were implanted with both 50 keV and 1.55 MeV 3He ions and annealed at different temperatures. The thermal growth of cavities was performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. Results show a significant difference in the formation and growth of cavities. Implantation of 50 keV ions to a total dose of 2.83 × 10 16 He/cm2 results in the unexpected formation of platelets when the annealing temperature is 400°C, while sample implanted with 1.55 MeV at an equivalent helium concentration (5×10 16He/cm2) gives rise to spherical cavities after the same thermal treatment.
