Abstract: The p-silicon surfaces have been irradiated with ~ 100 MeVSi7+ions to a fluence of2.2×1013ionscm-2, and surface morphology has been studied with atomic force microscopy (AFM). Interesting features of cracks of ~ 47 nm in depth and ~ 103 nm in width on the irradiated surfaces have been observed. The observed features seemed to have been caused by the irradiation-induced stress in the irradiated regions of the target surface.
