Athermal Annihilation of Defects in Ge using Extreme Radiation Environments: Myth or Reality?

Research Team

Project Director: Dr. Gihan Velișa

Research Members: Dr. Mihai Straticiuc, Dr. Ion Burducea, Dr. Dan G. Ghita

Postdoctoral Research Members: Dr. Maria Diana Mihai, Dr. Decebal Iancu

Master's Student: Andrei-Theodor Hotnog

Research Objectives

This fundamental research project advances scientific knowledge on annihilation processes of defects induced by ion implantation in semiconductors. As a precursor study, it contributes decisively to the optimization of processing protocols employed in the semiconductor industry.

The project focuses on experimental validation or invalidation of the hypothesis that the AIIA process does not hinder the formation of B- or P-doped junctions—an area of research that remains insufficiently explored. The outcomes will enhance the visibility and impact of our research group within the international scientific community.
