Abstract: | Transmission electron microscopy disclosed that cones formed on crystalline Si surfaces bombarded with a few keV Ar+ ions were of a dual structure inexplicable by the existing models of cone formation. The outer region of the cones was composed of unoriented crystallites of Si, whereas the inner region was a single crystal oriented in the 〈111〉 direction. The polycrystalline region was too thick to explain its formation in terms of ion-induced disordering of the monocrystalline phase, suggesting that the redeposition of sputtered Si atoms was deeply concerned in evolving the cones. It is supposed that the present cone evolution involved particle supply processes underlying the growth of Si whiskers from the vapor phase. |
