摘要: Solid-phase-epitaxial-regrowth (SPER) dynamics of ion-implanted silicon were studied through in situ time-resolved reflectivity measurements. The roles strain induced by dopant and isovalent impurities with different atomic sizes disentangled considering the actual Fermi-level shifting effective partial impurities, as obtained from Hall measurements high-resolution X-ray diffraction. Contrary to previous model, SPER rate retardation was found cases both isovalent-impurity-induced tensile compressive strain. We propose a modified model incorporating into generalized inclusively explain dynamics.
