摘要
The hardness and elastic modulus of α-SiC single crystals were determined using an ultra-low load micro-indentation hardness tester for implantation conditions that produced both crystalline and amorphous as-implanted surfaces. The effect of fluence for 260 keV chromium implantation was noted as was the effect of substrate temperature. For implantation at room temperature, the relative hardness (implanted/unimplanted) rises to a maximum of 1.10 at a fluence of 1.5 × 1014 Cr/cm2 (260 keV) and then decreases with increasing fluence as amorphization begins. The fully amorphous silicon carbide has a hardness value that is about 40% of the unimplanted value. The elastic modulus of the implanted material is lower for all implanted conditions. © 1990.
