Abstract

The work reported here deals with studying the defects induced by heavy ion implantation as well as the degree of crystalline lattice recovery after annealing in a high purity argon environment between 600 and 1600 °C. We implanted 6H, n-type silicon carbide with Pd and Au ions at 1015 ions/cm2, and used Micro-Raman (MR) and optical absorption (OA) spectroscopy techniques for investigating the lattice properties and damage evolution at various stages during the fabrication process.
