Ion implantation consists of directing an energetic ion onto surface of a target material. The ions penetrate through the target and gradually loss their energy and finally come to rest many atomic layers below the surface. Ion implantation technique is being investigated as a general method for altering the near-surface properties of metals, ceramics, and polymers.
Ion implantation is an attractive technique for altering the near-surface properties of a wide range of materials. Any element can be injected into a solid forming usually a non-equilibrium compositions and structures that can not be achieved by conventional processing methods.
•Alter near-surface composition to produce both equilibrium and non-equilibrium compositions•Change crystalline structure•Change mechanical properties•Change chemical reactivity•Produce nanophases•Pattern substrates
Some of ion implantation applications are summarized in the following table:
Mechanical Chemical Electromagnetic
Wear Corrosion superconductivity
Friction Oxidation Photoconductivity
Hardness Catalysis Resistivity
Fatigue Electrochemical Magnetic properties
Plasticity Reflectivity
Ductility Dielectric properties
Adhesion
Ion implantation technique allows some of ions penetrate into the surface of a material (including metals, ceramics, and polymers) producing a non-
equilibrium structure. Forming of amorphous structures, supersaturated solutions and metastable compounds
may modify some of the material properties.

Advantages of Ion Implantation:• Controlled doping • Depth of penetration can be controlled by controlling energy of theion beam• Concentration higher than solid solubility possible• Reactive ions can also be implanted• Implantation of different ions• Low temperature processDisadvantages of Ion Implantation:• Costly accelerator for ion implantation• Low throughput of the implanter

The most important analyzing methods to study ion implanted materials are Rutherford Backscattering (RBS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (PL).
