Electron microscopic observations were performed on defect structures in polycrystalline SiC crystals irradiated with 30 keV He ions to fluences from 10 14 to 10 17 ions/cm 2. A number of defect clusters were observed which were hexagonal in shape when observed from the c-axis direction but were seen to be of linear form when viewed from a direction parallel to the c-plane. These clusters increased in density with increasing irradiation fluence, and were considered to be formed by the agglomeration of irradiation-produced point defects or the injected helium atoms on the c-planes. Amorphization was observed for a fluence above a critical value of 7× 10 15 ions/cm 2 which corresponds to about one dpa for the 30 keV helium ions incident at random orientations on a SiC crystal. Irradiations of this critical fluence were unable to cause amorphization in the ion channeling directions. Heavy irradiations at the high temperature of 1000 K resulted in a number of fine crystallites, that is, recrystallized zones.
