PSG layers were prepared by P
+ ion implantation in silica, Na
2O-SiO
2, and Na
2O-CaO-SiO
2 glasses. The chemical state of the implanted P was evaluated by X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In the silica glass, a part of the implanted P reacts with O. The remaining P are, however, oxidized by subsequent O
+ implantation.
Enhancement of the Na-gettering effect by the PSG layer in the additionally implanted O
+ is observed by secondary ion mass spectrometry. In Na
2O-SiO
2 and NaO
2-Ca0-SiO
2 glasses, the oxidation of P depends on the glass composition and dose of P
+ ions. In Na
2O-SiO
2 glasses, the number of oxidized P increased with an increase in the molecular ratio of Na
2O/SiO
2.
Substitution of CaO for Na
2O or SiO
2 suppresses oxidization of the implanted P compared with the Na
2O-SiO
2 glass. The dependence of the oxidization of implanted P on the glass composition is discussed from the standpoint of surface-alkali depletion by ion implantation.
