摘要: Abstract Amorphous silicon nitride films deposited on Si(0 0 1) were irradiated with 540 keV C60 ions to fluences ranging from 2.5 × 1011 1 × 1014 ions/cm2. The composition depth profiles of the samples measured using high-resolution Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. Both and nitrogen in film decrease rapidly fluence. From observed result sputtering yields are obtained as 3900 ± 500 N atoms/ion 1500 ± 1000 Si atoms/ion. Such large yield cannot be explained by either elastic or electronic sputtering, indicating that synergy effect between plays an important role.
