The influence of dose rate on the ion‐beam‐induced crystallization of amorphous layers in silicon has been investigated. The amorphous layers were produced by self‐ion implantation both in bulk silicon and in silicon on sapphire. Subsequent recrystallization was induced at 200 to 400 °C by Ne, Si, Ar, and Kr ion beams of 300 keV energy passing through the amorphous layers. Rutherford backscattering/channeling measurements showed that the regrowth rate decreased with increasing dose rate. This behavior was more pronounced for heavy ions where high dose rates and/or low temperatures could reverse the recrystallization and induce further amorphous growth of the layer. In this new solid‐phase growth regime, the amorphous/crystalline interface moved inwards into the crystal in a manner similar to an epitaxial process. An intermittent beam experiment yielded a time constant for the ion beam induced crystallization mechanism of the order of 0.3 s. The time constant and a scaling law for different ions support a ...
