Abstract

The structure evolution of annealed low-energy Si- or Ge-implanted thin and thick SiO2 layers is studied. The majority of Si (or Ge) species is restricted within a 3-4 nm thick layer. Si is able to separate and crystallize more easily than Ge. The glass transition temperature of the as-implanted structure has a significant effect on the progress of phase transformations accompanying annealing.
