Existing Infrastructure • NEC 5U Pelletron accelerator with RIEF funded upgrade to make it one of the brightest accelerators in the world for nuclear microprobe operation ($2,000,000+) • Two MeV ion microprobe beam lines and associated instrumentation ($1,000,000 each) • Dilor confocal Raman spectrometer ($500,000) • Joel UHV AFM ($700,000) • Distributed computer network ($100,000). • Pulsed Laser Deposition System ($1,000,000) • This combination of instruments is unique worldwide for one research Centre!
The Science • Creation of an array of phosphorous ions ina Si m
The Melbourne Pelletron Accelerator • Installed in 1975 for nuclear physics experiments. • National Electrostatics Corp. 5U Pelletron. • Now full time for nuclear microprobe operation. • Will be state-of-the-art following RIEFP upgrade • Capable of delivering a single ion into an area 0.25 mm in diameter Accelerator Specimen Chamber
JEOL Variable Temperature UHV AFM/STM • Imaging RT-800K • Cantilever based AFM • STM imaging with tip or AFM cantilever • All imaging modes available • In situ evaporation source. • In situ ion sputtering.

Test structures created by single ion implantation • The basic idea • Previous work • Potential problems and solutions
Single Ion Implantation Fabrication Strategy Etch latent damage& metallise Read-out state of “qubits” MeV 31P implant Resist layer Si substrate
Light ion etch pits Heavy ion etch pit Scale bars: 1 mm intervals MeV ion etch pits in track detector • Single MeV heavy ions are used to produce latent damage in plastic • Etching in NaOH develops this damage to produce pits • Light ions produce smaller pits 3.

Single ion tracks • Latent damage from single-ion irradiation of a crystal (Bi2Sr2CaCuOx) • Beam: 230 MeV Au • Lighter ions produce narrower tracks!
