Abstract

We have measured the radiation-enhanced diffusion of Au in amorphous Si in the temperature range 77–700 K. Gold was implanted to depths of 500Å at concentrations of an atomic %. The samples were than amorphized to depths of -2μm using MeV Ar implants at liquid nitrogen temperature. Radiation-enhanced diffusion was induced by a 2.5 MeV Ar beam at doses of 2×1016−2×1017/cm2 and dose rates of 7×1012−7×1013/cm2sec. The diffusion coefficients show three well defined regions. At temperatures <400K diffusion is essentially athermal and due to ballistic mixing. At temperatures between 400K and 700K the diffusion, which is considerably enhanced over the usual thermal values, has an Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy of 0.37 eV. At higher temperatures thermal diffusion, with an activation energy of 1.42 eV, dominates.
