Abstract
A scheme is proposed to explain the influence domain in which a contin uous buried SiO2 layer is formed by oxygen implantation and subsequent high temperature annealing. This scheme correctly describes the minim um nuence observed in single step implantation experiments and its tem perature and energy dependence; moreover, it also explains the seeming ly extravagant structure of this nuence domain (showing a narrow windo w of allowed values at relatively low fluence recently reported by Nak ashima and Izumi (Electron Lett., 26 (1990) 1647, J. Mater. Res., 8 (1 993) 523) and the reasons making it possible the low fluence process r eported by Meda et al. (Nucl. Instrum. Methods B, 80/81 (1993) 813.
