Abstract
The energy and angular dependence of the ion beam induced nitridation of Si was studied using SIMS and HRRBS. Oscillations in the nitrogen ion signals were obtained for bombardment below θc2. The obtained oscillations are directly related to the charging of the surface nitride under ion bombardment. Nitride layer under ion bombardment was treated as a damped oscillatory system.
