The post ion implantation has been applied to modify early-grown BN layer and improve the adhesion of the BN films. The effect of ion implantation doses on microstructure and interlayer was investigated by FTIR and HRTEM. And the hardness and delamination life time of N+-implanted BN films were measured. With increasing the ion dose up to $5.0\times10^{15}\textrm{atoms/cm}^2$,the change of IR spectrum is observed. At $5.0\times10^{16}\textrm{atoms/cm}^2$, a drastic transition of cubic phase into hexagonal phase is detected. The change of microstructure of early-grown layers by ion implantation is confirmed using HRTEM. Both microhardness and delamination life time of BN films increase with ion dose. The modification model of early-grown BN layers is briefly discussed based on the displacement per atom and excess boron in the BN film induced by ion irradiation.

The GaAs-on-insulator (GOI) wafer fabrication technique has been developed by using ion-cut process, based on hydrogen ion implantation and wafer direct bonding techniques. The hydrogen ion implantation condition for the ion-cut process in GaAs and the associated implantation mechanism have been investigated in this paper. Depth distribution of hydrogen atoms and the corresponding lattice disorder in (100) GaAs wafers produced by 40 keV hydrogen ion implantation were studied by SIMS and RBS/channeling analysis, respectively. In addition, the formation of platelets in the as-implanted GaAs and their microscopic evolution with annealing in the damaged layer was also studied by cross-sectional TEM analysis. The influence of the ion fluence, the implantation temperature and subsequent annealing on blistering and/or flaking was studied, and the optimum conditions for achieving blistering/splitting only after post-implantation annealing were determined. It was found that the new optimum implant temperature window for the GaAs ion-cut lie in $120{\sim}160^{\circ}C$, which is markedly lower than the previously reported window probably due to the inaccuracy in temperature measurement in most of the other implanters.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has attracted significant attention for high frequency, high temperature and high power devices due to its superior properties such as the large band gap, high breakdown electric field, high saturation velocity and high thermal conductivity. We performed Al ion implantation processes on n-type 4H-SiC substrate using a SILVACO ATHENA numerical simulator. The ion implantation model used Monte-Carlo method. We simulated the effect of channeling by Al implantation in both 0 off-axis and 8 off-axis n-type 4H-SiC substrate. We have investigated the effect of varying the implantation energies and the corresponding doses on the distribution of Al in 4H-SiC. The controlled implantation energies were 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 keV and the implantation doses varied from $2{\times}10^{14}$ to $1{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-2}$. The Al ion distribution was deeper with increasing implantation energy, whereas the doping level increased with increasing dose. The effect of post-implantation annealing on the electrical properties of Al-implanted p-n junction diode were also investigated.

BN films with a high content of cubic phase has been deposited by a variety of techniques. It is well known that c-BN films grow with a unique microstructure consisting of $sp^2$ and $sp^{3-}$ bonded layers. Because of existence of the initially grown $sp^{2-}$ /bonded layer, BN films are not adhesive to the substrates. In this study, post-N$^{+ }$ / implantation was applied to improve the adhesion of the films. A Monte Carlo program TAMIX was used to simulate this modification process. The simulation showed nitrogen concentration profile at $1200\AA$ in depth in case of 50keV -implantation energy. FTIR spectra of the $N^{+}$ implanted specimens demonstrated a strong change of absorption band at 1380 cm$^{ -1 }$The films were also investigated by HRTEM. From these results, it is concluded that the post ion implantation could be an effective technique which improves the adhesion between BN film and substrate.

Resistivity of GaN has been investigated under the influence of ion implantation. n-type, p-type and also undoped GaN has been used here. A ring shape pattern of Au was fabricated on GaN film by the photolithography technique. H, He and Ar were used for implantation. The ion implantation energy, fluence and post-implant annealing temperature varied in this research. Because of the making barrier in some selected area using ions, the resistivity changed in all the samples with the change of both fluence and energy. At room temperature, the resistivity of n-type GaN has been increased from $1.9{\times}10-2$ to $17.7{\times}10-2\;{\Omega}-cm$. This is high for He ion. But undoped and p-type GaN showed some anomalous character.

We studied the effect of channeling by Al implantation simulation in both 0 off-axis and 8 off-axis n-type 4H-SiC substrate. We have investigated the Al distribution in 4H-SiC through the variation of the implantation energies and the corresponding ratio of the doses. The implantation energies controlled 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 keV and the implantation doses varied from $2\times10^{14}$ to $1\times10^{15}cm^{-2}$. In the simulation results, the Al ion distribution was deeper as increasing implantation energy and the doping level increased as increasing implantation doses. After the post-implantation annealing, the electrical properties of Al-implanted p-n junction diode were investigated by SILV ACO ATLAS numerical simulator.

ME-ARE법에 의해 합성된 c-BN 박막의 초기성장층 및 이의 계면구조를 개선하고 밀착력을 향상 시키고자 후처리로서 질소이온을 주입$(PSII-N^+)$하였다. 이온 주입량이 c-BN 박막의 미세구조, 계면구조에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였으며 이와 함께 박막의 경도 및 박리특성에 미치는 효과를 고찰하였다. 질소이온 주입시 약 $5.0{\times}10_15atoms/cm^2$ 이상의 주입량에서부터 IR스펙트럼의 변화가 보이기 시작하였으며 $5.0{\times}10_16atoms/cm^2$ 이상의 주입량 이상에서부터 급격한 c-BN$c-BN{\to}h-BN$상전환이 일어났다. HRTEM관찰 결과, 이온주입에 의해 $sp^2$ 결합을 하고 있는 취약한 초기성장층의 결정구조 개선을 확인할 수 있었으며 이온주입된 박막의 경도 및 박리거동을 비교하여 이온주입 및 주입량에 따른 경도 및 박리 상관관계를 설명하였다.

This paper introduces a new method regarding deuterium incorporation in the gate dielectric including deuterium implantation and post-annealing at the back-end-of-the process line. The control device and the deuterium furnace-annealed device were also prepared for comparison with the implanted device. It was observed that deuterium implantation at a light dose of $1{\times}10^{12}-1{\times}10^{14}/cm^2$ at 30 keV reduced hot-carrier injection (HCI) degradation and negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) within our device structure due to the reduction in oxide charge and interface trap. Deuterium implantation provides a possible solution to enhance the bulk and interface reliabilities of the gate oxide under the electrical stress.

In order to produce Cu nanocrystallite in silicon wafer, the implantation technique was used. The samples of silicon (100) wafers were implanted by $Cu^+$ ions at 100 keV and with varying the doses at room temperature. Post-annealing was performed at $800^{\circ}C$ with Ar environment. To investigate the formation of Cu nanocrystallite with ion doses and growth process by thermal annealing, SIMS and HRTEM(high resolution transmission electron microscopy)spectra were studied.
