Abstract

SiO2 samples were implanted with 300 keV xenon at various doses: 0.5 to 521016 Xe/cm2. Asimplanted samples show that nm-size precipitates are created for these doses while bubble formation needs doses higher than 1016 Xe/cm2. Thermal annealing at 750°C results in the disappearance of nano-precipitates while bubbles/cavities remain stable even after annealing at 1100°C. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements clearly indicate a strong decrease of the dielectric constant (k), consistent with bubble/cavity formation in SiO 2.
