Qt. Zhao et al., REDUCTION OF SECONDARY DEFECTS IN BF, IMPLANTED SI(100) BY ION-BEAM DEFECT ENGINEERING, Applied physics letters, 64(2), 1994, pp. 175-177
Reduction of secondary defects in 50 keV, 2x10(15) BF2/cm(2) implanted
Si(100) has been studied by Rutherford backscattering and channeling
technique. Secondary defects with high densities have been found in BF
2 implanted Si(100) after thermal annealing and rapid thermal annealin
g. However, a noticeable reduction of secondary defects in BF2 damaged
region was observed when a buried amorphous layer was formed by an ad
ditional irradiation of 1.0 MeV Si+ ions prior to annealing (i.e., ion
beam defect engineering process).
