Abstract In this paper, we present a theoretical and experimental study of ion ranges in a PPP (polyparaphenylene) target and the effect on the conductivity of the material, which is an intrinsic insulator.
1. Ion range
This essentially theoretical view has been studied with the classical semiconductors Si and Ge [1]. In our case, we have applied the methods used for amorphous materials to the PPP case.
1.1. Generalities We suppose that the ion-target interaction is limited to two independent phenomena: elastic nuclear collisions and successive inelastic ionelectron collisions. The energy loss AE for a displacement Ax between two collisions leads at the limit (homogeneous and continuous target) to the total stopping power: S t ( E ) = --dE/dx = Sn(E) + S e ( E )
where Sn(E ) is the nuclear stopping power, and Se(E) the electronic stopping power. The mean range for an incident ion of energy Ei is then determined by the relation R ( E i)
(R(Ei))= f 0
0
dE
dx = f S t ( E ) Ei
The mean projected range (on the incident direction) will be denoted Rp and the corresponding standard deviation, ARp. 0379-6779/88]$3.50

where n is th e n u m b e r o f identical atomic species of the molecule, and we suppose a linear law f or t he stopping power: S ( E ) = ~_,NiSi(E ) with N; = atomic density of the ith species and Si(E) = stopping pow er of t h e ith species. 1.3. I o n range in a material To consider the influence of the collisions on t he incident ion dispersion we can p e r f o r m : either a M o n t e ~ a r l o t r e a t m e n t or a calculation based on t h e inverted B ol t zm a nn linear relation [3, 4], which entails determining the solutions o f the differential equation g(E) = ~ , ( E )

A simplification o f this problem has been proposed b y Biersack [5] and already applied b y Xu [6] to certain i o n - p o l y m e r interactions. Those last two are t he m e t h o d s (general and simplified) that have been used in o u r study, and we have hereafter referenced t h e m with indexes H and X respectively.

2.3. Spatial repartition of ions Taking into account the simplifications (for example, absence of sputtering) we assume [1] that a Gaussian distribution is a good approximation. The theoretical implantation profiles can be compared with those obtained experimentally by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Figure 3 shows results for Rb ions; Fig. 4 for I ions and Fig. 5 for P ions (the ion initially studied in the classical case).
3. Discussion These profiles show quite a good agreement between theory and experiment, particularly for Rp. Moreover, we notice that the experimental RUBIDIUM

profiles are larger than the theoretical ones: considering that the greater the irradiation current, the broader the experimental profiles, we can infer that during implantation, local heating takes place leading to thermal diffusion, which also appears during a severe annealing process carried out at 7OO K. Unlike classical semiconductors for which low energy implantation produces a surface amorphization with a resistivity increase, we directly obtain in the PPP case an important doping effect: the conductivity a is multiplied by about 10 ~2 and annealing does n o t produce any phase transition; the evolution of o v e r s u s temperature is shown in Fig. 6 in the case of doping with Cs ions (E = 50 keV, D = 1016 ions/cm 2, j = 0.5 pA/cm2).

low temperatures, the conductivity process is explained by the variable range hopping theory [7] : a linear law for log ov/T = f(T -w4) is obtained but for higher temperatures, different thermally-activated phenomena can occur simultaneously. The surface damage in relation to nuclear stopping power is limited by the material structure: in linear polymers, Frenkel defects are not possible as in the classical semiconductor case. It is only for higher energies (E/> 100 keV) that, as the stopping power is enhanced, electronic bond breaking can be obtained: this idea is supported by i.r. spectra that are unaltered after low-energy implantation (E ~ 50 keV) and show important modifications after higher~nergy implantations (E ~ 150 keV).
