Abstract
Nitrogen is implanted into silicon wafers using a Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII) device and then the silicon wafer is annealing by heat treatment. The implantation is carried out at a target bias of -30 keV. The effects of high voltage nitrogen implantation on the silicon structure, wettability and bloodcompatibility are investigated. After nitrogen implantation, the silicon wafer is seen to possess an amorphous structure and to be more hydrophilic. Blood compatibility of the silicon wafer is improved by nitrogen implantation and annealing. It is suggested that this improvement of blood compatibility is related to the surface wettability. © 2005 Trans Tech Publications Ltd. All Rights Reserved
