Abstract
Silicon samples dual implanted with B+ + N+ and B+ + Ar+ ions and then furnace annealed at temperatures up to 900 degrees C were studied usi ng RBS and EPR. An anomalous decrease of defect concentration after su bsequent implantation with boron and nitrogen ions to the same dose (1 .2 x 10(15) cm(-2)) was observed due to radiation annealing. A transfo rmation of simple point defects to pentavacancies during annealing was found, which depends on the degree of silicon amorphization. The defe ct annealing temperature was found to be a function of the dose and io n species combination in the first and second implantations.
