Resumo

The results of a study of nanoclusters at the interface of a Si3N4 film on a Si substrate implanted with 64Zn+ ions with a dose of 5×1016/cm2 and energy of 40 keV are presented. The Si3N4 film was deposited on a silicon substrate using the gas-phase method. Then the implanted samples were annealed in air in steps of 100°C for 1 hour at each step in the temperature range of 400–700°C. The surface morphology of the samples was studied using scanning probe microscopy. The profiles of the implanted impurity and film elements, as well as the chemical state of the Zn ion, were studied using X-ray photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy. The shock pulse method revealed that after implantation, individual metallic zinc nanoclusters with a size of about 100 nm or less were detected near the surface of the Si3N4 film. During the annealing process, they grow with simultaneous transformation into the ZnSiN2 phase and, possibly, into the phases of zinc oxide and silicide near the surface. After annealing at a temperature of 700°C, Zn-containing nanoclusters with a size of about 100 nm are formed in the Si3N4 film.
