Ion Implantation Damage in CdS Crystals Using RBS/Channeling and Tem

Implantation damage in single crystal of CdS produced by 60 keV Bi+ and 45 keV Ne+ at 50 K and at 300 K has been studied. Measurements of Cd disorder and dechanneling behaviour have been made by means of RBS/channeling for He ions ranging in incident energy from 1.0 to 2.8 MeV either along <0001> or <1120> axial channeling directions. The amount of disorder measured were two orders of magnitude lower than the calculated Cd disorder. Damage when analysed along the <0001> axis is larger than when analysed along the <1120> axis.Xmim values for the implanted crystals decreases as the EO increases, when analysed along <0001> direction. TEM observations of Bi implanted samples show that the dislocation loops of b = 1/3 <1120> are produced. Attempts have been made to correlate the RBS/channeling results with the defect strictures observed in microscopy.
