Slip Dislocation Formation During Continuous Wave Laser Annealing Of Silicon, Helmut Baumgart
Slip Dislocation Formation During Continuous Wave Laser Annealing Of Silicon, Helmut Baumgart
Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
High-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) has been used for the investigation of the defect structure in cw laser-annealed silicon. We report for the first time a (HVEM) analysis of the formation processes involved in the nucleation and glide of slip dislocations during epitaxial regrowth by cw laser annealing of ion-implantation damaged silicon layers. Based on the combined optical and HVEM observations a model of the dislocation generation and glide processes is presented.
