Preface

The Symposium on Low Energy Ion Beam and Plasma Modifica-tion of Materials was held at the Spring 1991 Material ResearchSociety Conference in Anaheim, CA, April 30 - May 2, 1991. Thissymposium was designed to show the wide range of materials whichcan be modified advantageously by low energy particles from ionbeam and plasma sources. The presentations from invitedspeakers are highlighted below. These invited talks set thetone and topical range of each session, and demonstrated theremarkable variety of properties which may be modified by ionand plasma methods.

The first session, on Fundamentals and Modeling, emphasizedbasic ion-material interactions, and was highlighted by twovideotapes of computer simulations, one of epitaxial Si growthfrom Si ions of energy 10-20 eV, by M. Kitabatake, and one ofcarbon ion deposition at 10-50 eV. These simulations enabledviewers to clearly visualize the seguence of a 10 eV ion settingthe target surface into oscillation, then finding its way to anepitaxial position. J. Biersack presented an overview of MonteCarlo simulations, including his recent extension of the widelyused TRIM code to model the growth of thin films under simul-taneous ion bombardment.

Recent developments in electron cyclotron resonance (ECR)sources and microwave-excited plasma sources were reviewed by L.Berry. The conditions of resonance which produce high iondensities at low energy were clarified, and it was shown thation densities up to 10% of the gas density are achievable at aninput of only 100 eV per ion. Applications of ECR sources toreactive ion etching were reviewed by S. Samukawa. Otherapplications included deposition of silicon nitride and silicondioxide, hydrogen passivation of Si, and deposition of boronnitride, which was described by Y. Osaka.

In a joint session with the Symposium on Interfaces inHigh-Temperature Superconducting Systems, talks by J. Kwo and A.Tsukamoto demonstrated the application of ECR sources to thesynthesis of YBaCuO and HoBaCuO. This improved method foroxygen incorporation enables these perovskite materials to besynthesized at temperatures as low as 500-680°C. A. Hebarddescribed how ion beam etching at glancing angle is successfulin thinning high-temperature superconductors to as little as afew lattice constants. A session on III-V materials includedthe application of ECR sources to the epitaxial growth of GaAsat temperatures as low as 350 °C on GaAs and 400°C on Si,described by N. Kondo. Selective growth of GaAs at 630°C wasalso demonstrated.

Ion beam techniques have dramatically improved the qualityof optical thin films. The techniques for controlling densityand refractive index were reviewed by U. Gibson, and recentresults on modulating the index of ZrF4 from 1.5 to 1.8 byoxygen ion bombardment were shown. This approach is suitablefor the fabrication of graded index (GRIN) structures whilemaintaining planarity. Ferroelectric materials share many

processing challenges with the family of high-temperaturesuperconductors. A. Kingon showed how controlled ion beamsputtering allows optimized deposition from dual targets of K02

and Nb to produce high quality films of ferroelectric KNbO3 at500-600°C.

Polymers constitute another large class of materials easilymodified by ion bombardment. S. Molis reviewed the effects of500 eV argon ion bombardment of polyimide and showed howinfrared spectroscopy reveals a shift to a more carbon-richsurface layer which is one thousand times more resistant towater absorption than non-bombarded polyimide.

The symposium concluded with a session on metal filmmodification. A talk on multilayer magnetic films by M. Sendashowed how magnetic anisotropy and coercivity respond dramati-cally to changes in ion beam deposition conditions. The themeof the symposium was well illustrated in the wide range ofmaterials presented. Low energy ion beam and plasma treatmentof materials causes a surprising variety of property changes,and continues to be a powerful resource for the materialsscientist.
