摘要
Oxygen was implanted into cubic (3C) silicon carbide in order to produce a buried insulating layer. Doses between 1 x 10(17) and 1.4 x 10(18) cm(-2) were used, with an implantation energy of 200 keV and at temperatures from 180 degrees C to 600 degrees C. The samples were analysed with Rutherford backscattering. The resulting spectra are complex, with the layered profiles of C, O and Si overlapping extensively. The combinatorial optimisation simulated annealing algorithm was used to analyse the data. The only input required is what are the elements present in the sample, without any further human intervention. A multiple scattering correction is done. The individual depth profiles for each element are obtained, and it is shown that stoichiometric SiO2 at the peak of the oxygen concentration is formed, depending on the implantation conditions.
