Ion-beam-induced recrystallization of amorphous surface layers on single-crystalline silicon carbide substrates (6H-SiC) has been investigated at temperatures of 500 and 1050 degrees C by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and channeling. It is shown, that ion irradiation substantially reduces the onset temperature of both the epitaxial layer regrowth and the random nucleation of crystalline grains. Two recrystallization regimes have been found. At 500 degrees C ion-beam-induced random nucleation (IBIRN) of crystalline grains strongly competes with ion-beam-induced epitaxial crystallization (IBIEC) and polycrystalline material stops the epitaxial regrowth front in an early stage. At a temperature of 1050 degrees C IBIEC dominates over IBIRN and a complete, but disturbed epitaxial regrowth is obtained. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
