Abstract

Conventional and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) were used to study the structure of {113} defects in high-dose oxygen implanted silicon. The defects are created with a density of 1011 cm−2 below the buried oxide layer in the substrate region. The HREM images of the {113} defects are similar to the ribbon-like defects in bulk silicon. It is proposed that there is a third possible structure of the defects, in addition to coesite and/or hexagonal structures. Portions of some defects exhibit the original cubic diamond structure which is twinned across {115} planes. The atomic model shows that the {115} interface is a coherent interface with alternating five- and seven-membered rings and no dangling bonds.
