Abstract

The interface velocity of Au and Ag doped amorphous Si during ion beam induced epitaxy was measured using in situ time resolved reflectivity. Interfacial segregation coefficients were determined as a function of composition from numerical simulations. At 320°C Au impurities enhanced the velocity by up to a factor of 2.5 compared to the intrinsic case. Silver slightly retarded re-growth by 10 %. These effects are qualitatively similar to the case of thermal solid phase epitaxy. Using the measured impurity profiles and interface velocity, computer simulations relate the segregation coefficient to the concentrations of the impurity at the interface. In both cases, the segregation coefficient increases with increasing interfacial impurity concentration.
