Abstract

Transmission electron-microscopy examination revealed the appearance of a hexagonal silicon (9R polytype) inclusions in the subsrface silicon layer upon ion implantation and subsequent heat treatment of the SiO2/Si structure. The formation of this hexagonal phase is stimulated by mechanical stresses arising in the heterophase system in the course of ion implantation.
