  • Dislocation impurity interaction in si
    Materials Science and Engineering B-advanced Functional Solid-state Materials, 2005
    Co-Authors: Ichiro Yonenaga
    Abstract:

    Abstract Dynamic Dislocationimpurity interactions in CZ–Si doped with light impurity (N), acceptor (B), donor (P, As, Sb) and neutral (Ge) impurities were investigated in comparison with those in undoped CZ–Si. Dislocation generation was effectively suppressed in B-, P- and As-doped Si when the concentration was higher than 1019 cm−3, while Ge impurity did not strongly suppress Dislocation generation. Dislocations were immobilized by the stable complexes formed through the impurity segregation and reaction. It was found that B and N impurities promptly form strong locking agents, while P and As impurities form highly dense locking agents along Dislocations. Dislocation Velocity in Si doped with electrically active impurities increased with increasing concentrations of not only the donor (P, As, Sb) but also the acceptor (B) impurities in the temperature range of 650–950 °C. N and Ge impurities had no or little effect on the Velocity of Dislocations in motion. Co-doping of Si with Ge and B was effective for suppression of Dislocation generation and retardation of Dislocation Velocity at low temperatures.

  • hardness yield strength and Dislocation Velocity in elemental and compound semiconductors
    Materials Transactions, 2005
    Co-Authors: Ichiro Yonenaga
    Abstract:

    Current knowledge on macroscopic plasticity indications, i.e., hardness and yield strength, and on microscopic indication, i.e., Velocity of individual Dislocations, in elemental and IV-IV, III-V, and II-VI compound semiconductors including GaN and ZnSe are reported and discussed on their mutual correlations. The Vickers hardness of the semiconductors can provide conventional information on the material plasticity in a wide temperature range up to their inciting points over a wide range of size scales in various material forms. Hardness H y in diamond- and sphalerite-type semiconductors has a universal relationship on their temperature dependence similar to the yield strength t y with a relation H v = (70-100) τ y in the low temperature region. Yield strength obtained by normal tensile or compression tests are expressed by an experimental equation as a function of the strain rate and temperature. The velocities of various types of Dislocations measured directly in several semiconductors are described with an empirical equation as a function of the stress and the temperature. Through the analysis of yield strength data in terms of the collective motif in in of Dislocations during the plastic deformation, the Dislocation motion. rate-controlling plastic deformation, are deduced. The activation energy for Dislocation motion has a linear relation to the band gap energy, depending on the types of semiconductors, elemental. III-V compounds, and II-VI compounds.

  • Dislocation impurity interaction in si
    Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing, 2003
    Co-Authors: Ichiro Yonenaga
    Abstract:

    Abstract The dynamic interaction between Dislocations and impurities B, P and Ge in Si with concentrations up to 2.5×10 20  cm −3 is investigated by the etch-pit technique, in comparison with that of O impurity in Si. Dislocation generation from a surface scratch is strongly suppressed when the concentration of B and P impurities exceeds 1×10 19  cm −3 , originating from the immobilization by preferential impurity segregation. Dislocation Velocity in motion enhances on increasing the concentration in B and P impurities. Neutral impurity Ge has weak effect on Dislocation generation and Velocity enhancement.

  • growth and Dislocation behavior in gesi bulk alloys
    Physica B-condensed Matter, 1999
    Co-Authors: Ichiro Yonenaga
    Abstract:

    Bulk crystals of Ge1−xSix alloys in the whole composition range 0Dislocation Velocity decreases with increasing Si content in the range 0Dislocation Velocity first increases and then decreases with increasing Ge content in the range 0.94Dislocation velocities were determined as functions of stress and temperature. The stress–strain behavior of the alloys becomes temperature-insensitive at high temperatures. The yield strength of the alloys depends on the composition, proportional to x(1−x) over the whole composition range. Built-in stress fields related to local fluctuation of the alloy composition and the dynamic development of a solute atmosphere around Dislocations, seem to suppress the activities of Dislocation and bring about alloy strengthening.

  • Dislocation Velocity in gesi alloy
    Applied Physics Letters, 1996
    Co-Authors: Ichiro Yonenaga, Koji Sumino
    Abstract:

    Velocities of Dislocations in single crystal Ge1−xSix alloy semiconductors with x=0.004–0.022 grown by the Czochralski method were investigated by means of etch pit technique in the temperature range 450–700 °C and the stress range 3–20 MPa. The Dislocation Velocity in the GeSi decreases monotonically with an increase in the Si content, reaching about a half of that in Ge at x=0.022. The dependencies of the Dislocation Velocity on stress and temperature in the alloys are expressed by the same type of empirical equation as those in other elemental and compound semiconductors.

  • Dislocation Velocity in indium phosphide
    Applied Physics Letters, 1991
    Co-Authors: Ichiro Yonenaga, Koji Sumino
    Abstract:

    Velocities of α, β, and screw Dislocations in InP crystals generated from surface scratches were measured as a function of stress and temperature by means of the etch pit technique. Effects of Zn and S impurities, acting as acceptor and donor, respectively, on the Dislocation Velocity were also investigated. lt was found that Zn impurity strongly retards the motion of all types of Dislocations. On the other hand, S impurity is found to reduce the mobilities of β and screw Dislocations while it enhances the mobility of α Dislocations.

  • stochastic simulation of Dislocation glide in tantalum and ta based alloys
    Journal of The Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2005
    Co-Authors: David J Srolovitz, Chaitanya Deo, Wei Cai, Vasily V. Bulatov
    Abstract:

    We employ a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate the motion of a1/2〈111〉-oriented screw Dislocation on a {011}-slip plane in body centered cubic Ta and Ta-based alloys. The Dislocation moves by the kink model: double kink nucleation, kink migration and kink–kink annihilation. Rates of these unit processes are parameterized based upon existing first principles data. Both short-range (soluteDislocation core) and long-range (elastic misfit) interactions between the Dislocation and solute are considered in the simulations. Simulations are performed to determine Dislocation Velocity as a function of stress, temperature, solute concentration, solute misfit and solute–core interaction strength. The Dislocation Velocity is shown to be controlled by the rate of nucleation of double kinks and the dependence of the double kink nucleation rate on stress and temperature are consistent with existing analytical predictions. In alloys, Dislocation Velocity depends on both the short- and long-range solute Dislocation interactions as well as on the solute concentration. The short-range solute–core interactions are shown to dominate the effects of alloying on Dislocation mobility. The present simulation method provides the critical link between atomistic calculations of fundamental Dislocation and solute properties and large scale Dislocation dynamics that typically employ empirical equations of motion.

  • kinetic monte carlo modeling of Dislocation motion in bcc metals
    Materials Science and Engineering A-structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing, 2001
    Co-Authors: Vasily V. Bulatov, Ali S. Argon
    Abstract:

    Abstract We present a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulation method for modeling screw Dislocation motion in BCC metals on the micron–second scales, using inputs from atomistic simulations of core mechanisms on the angstrom–picosecond scale. The simulations use atomistic input such as double-kink nucleation energy and kink mobility, include linear elastic (Peach–Koehler) interactions between Dislocation segments, and predict overall Dislocation Velocity at different temperature and stress states. In addition, an important mechanism, namely, the spontaneous superjog growth and debris loop nucleation, is identified in the kMC simulation as an important factor controlling the Dislocation motion in the high stress and medium temperature regime.

  • Dislocation motion in bcc metals by molecular dynamics
    Materials Science and Engineering A-structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing, 2001
    Co-Authors: Jinpeng Chang, Vasily V. Bulatov
    Abstract:

    Abstract We performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of edge Dislocations in BCC metal Mo with 1/2〈1 1 1〉 Burgers vector gliding on (1 1 0) plane using the Finnis–Sinclair N-body empirical potential and periodic boundary conditions (PBC). The profile of Dislocation line, extracted from atomic displacements during MD simulation, suggests a dominant mechanism of double-kink nucleation, without appreciable kink migration. This observation is consistent with further simulations in which Dislocations with pre-existing kinks are observed to move at the same Velocity as the initially straight Dislocations. Our results show a linear stress dependence of the Dislocation Velocity and a decrease of mobility with increasing temperature, both features interpreted as signifying that the simulations pertain to the viscous phonon drag regime of Dislocation mobility.
