摘要
The possibility of amorphization of a silicon crystal bombarded at room temperature with helium ions is studied by monitoring structural changes in the target crystal by means of transmission electron microscopy. Thin free-standing Si(100) plates were irradiated from the plane edge ({011} face) with 17-keV He+ ions in a dose range from 3 x 10(16) to 3 x 10(17) cm(-2). It was established that amorphization of the silicon crystal takes place for a total fluence exceeding 10(17) cm(-2), provided that the ratio of the point defect production rate to the rate of helium introduction into silicon exceeds 90 displacements per He atom.
