Ion-beam-induced crystallization (IBIC) was used to produce nanocrystals in the preamorphized region of a 6H-SiC bulk crystal. The precipitation was stimulated by high dose Al implantation at temperatures from 300 degrees C to 700 degrees C. Using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) under grazing incidence, the morphology of the nanocrystalline phase and its dependence on the implantation parameters were investigated. After IBIC the morphology of the recrystallized material completely differs from that after thermal crystallization. Randomly oriented grains of 3C-SiC with almost spherical shape and mean diameters ranging from 5 to 20 nm are formed during Al implantation. A critical ion dose for the onset of the recrystallization is found at about 1.9x10(16) Al+/cm(2). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
