Abstract

Crystalline damage created by ion-implantation of dopant impurities in ZnO (0001) substrates was characterized as a function of atomic mass of implanted species using triple-axis (2θ-ω/ω) x-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering (RBS). The former revealed the presence of implantation-induced strain through the broadening of the isometric and asymmetric 2θ-ω reflections. However, RBS indicated that the damage introduced during implantation of these ions was insufficient to transform the crystalline lattice into a completely amorphous state. Additional XRD characterization as a function of annealing temperature of the implanted materials showed a reduction in the broadening of the isometric reflections, indicating that structural recovery of implanted ZnO crystals can be achieved.
