Abstract

Interaction of oxygen and nitrogen in ion-implanted crystalline silicon layers has been investigated by infrared absorption. Infrared absorption bands which are not produced by either 14N or 160 alone are observed after sequential implantation of 14N and 160 into overlapping profiles followed by annealing at 500°C. The new bands indicate oxygen - nitrogen interactions and are ascribed to Si-N vibrational modes with oxygen in nearby interstitial sites.
