    Dislocation imaging using transmission ion channeling (1993)

    Notes: Interface dislocations present in a Si0.85Ge0.15/Si sample have been imaged using the channeling scanning transmission ion microscopy (CSTIM) method with a 2 MeV proton beam 200 nm across. Groups of parallel dislocations gave dark bands of contrast down to ∼1.5 μm across, the contrast arising from dechanneling of the beam by the bent lattice planes. Tilting of the sample caused the band contrast to change and gave quantitative data concerning the local bending of the lattice planes. A low-angle boundary model was developed to describe the effect of the groups of dislocations on the channeling contrast. Channeling and topography contrast were obtained from mesa structures present on the sample. Improvements in the sensitivity of the CSTIM method are discussed. The dislocations in the sample were initially characterized by transmission electron microscopy.

    Microcircuit imaging using an ion-beam-induced charge (1992)

    Notes: Ionizing radiation such as photons, keV electrons, or MeV ions can generate electron-hole pairs in semiconducting material. The high penetrating power of MeV light ions allows them to generate electron-hole pairs from deep within intact microelectronic devices, so images can be formed of the device active areas with very little degradation of the spatial resolution of the focused MeV ion beam. Furthermore, the ion-beam-induced charge (IBIC) image contrast is not strongly affected by the energy loss through the overlying device layers. This article is the first to demonstrate the capability of a nuclear microprobe to generate IBIC images of the active regions of devices through the passivation and metallization layers. The effect of the carrier generation volume on IBIC resolution is assessed. The ability of IBIC to align the major crystal axes of semiconductor samples is shown, and the effect of ion-induced damage on IBIC image contrast is considered.

    Imaging of the strain field around precipitate particles using transmission ion channeling (1996)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: This paper shows ion channeling images of the strain field produced by precipitate particles in a crystal matrix. Images have been produced by mapping the energy of 3 MeV protons transmitted through a thinned silicon crystal containing colonies of copper silicide particles, with the incident beam at or close to planar channeling directions of the lattice. Features of the precipitate contrast observed as a function of beam tilt angle away from channeling alignment are qualitatively explained using a model based on symmetrical plane rotation of the crystal lattice around the colonies. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Optimization of ion-beam induced charge microscopy for the analysis of integrated circuits (1995)

    Notes: The conditions necessary for obtaining both the maximum topographical image contrast and the maximum insensitivity to ion induced damage using ion-beam induced charge microscopy are presented and interpreted in terms of existing energy loss and damage theory. Ion-beam induced charge images and pulse-height spectra which are measured from a Sandia SA3002 memory device using MeV H+, H+2, and 4He+ ions with a range of incident energies are used to characterize these optimum experimental conditions. It is shown that ions which are stopped within the device depletion layers generate charge pulses which are much less sensitive to ion induced damage than longer range ions which are stopped in the device substrate. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    The use of "mixed'' beams in microprobe imaging (1996)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: This article will demonstrate the production and application of "mixed'' beams for a magnetically focused nuclear microprobe. A "mixed'' beam is defined as any two beams of ions of different species, or energy, or both that can be quickly and easily made to have the same magnetic rigidity (Rm) so that they transport, focus, and scan the same in a magnetic nuclear microprobe. Two techniques for the production of such beams will be presented. These methods include the extraction of different ions from the same source and scanning the terminal potential to produce the same Rm, and the use of a postacceleration stripper to change the charge state of one ion species to give it the same Rm as another ion species. The application of mixed beams to ion beam induced charge, scanning transmission ion microscopy, and ion microlithography will also be presented. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Sensitivity of ion induced charge pulses to the electrical and crystallographic properties of 60° dislocations (1994)

    Notes: This letter reports evidence that the size of MeV ion induced charge pulses measured from epitaxial Si0.875Ge0.125/Si depends on both the crystallographic and electrical properties of the 60° misfit dislocations present. The results are correlated with both backscattered and transmission ion channeling analysis. With the sample in nonchanneled alignment the measured ion induced charge pulses depend on the number of charge carriers which recombine at the dislocations. With the sample in channeled alignment the rotated (110) and (11¯0) planes around the 60° dislocations affect the local rate of carrier generation and so alter the size of the measured ion induced charge pulses. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The recently developed ion beam induced charge technique has been used to image bands of misfit dislocations in a 4 μm thick epitaxial layer of Si0.875Ge0.125 grown on a Si substrate. The smallest resolvable bandwidth is 0.8 μm under present conditions. The factors which presently limit this value, and methods for improving it are discussed.

    Evidence from ion channeling images for the elastic relaxation of a Si0.85Ge0.15 layer grown on a patterned Si substrate (1995)

    Notes: We demonstrate the ability of ion channeling analysis using a scanned, focused, 2 MeV proton beam from a nuclear microprobe to detect and quantify elastic relaxation in a Si1−xGex layer grown on a Si substrate. Channeling images of a sample consisting of a Si0.85Ge0.15 layer grown on a substrate patterned to produce 10 μm wide raised mesas were produced which revealed lattice plane bending of up to 0.25°, consistent with elastic relaxation of the epilayer. The channeling results are compared with those produced from electron backscattering diffraction. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Manipulation of ion channeling patterns using magnetic quadrupole lenses (1995)

    Notes: This letter demonstrates that ion channeling patterns, produced by the passage of 3 MeV protons through a 0.5 μm thick [001] silicon crystal, can be transported and manipulated to produce enlarged or reduced area patterns using magnetic quadrupole lenses. The different effects on the ion channeling patterns obtained by using single quadrupole lenses and quadrupole multiplets are shown. The maximum attainable magnification under present conditions is investigated and a fundamental limitation to this process is identified as being the energy spread gained by the proton beam as it passes through the crystal. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    High signal to noise level ion beam induced charge images (1994)

    Notes: The use of MeV α particles to generate ion beam induced charge images with a signal to noise level approximately ten times larger than previously obtained using protons is described. The effect of α particle induced damage on the resultant image contrast is shown and a method of image formation in which the effects of ion induced damage are compensated for is described which enables the use of a higher ion dose.
