Silicon wafers are implanted with 40 keV B+ ions (1.2 x 10(14) or 1.2
x 10(15) cm-2) and 50 or 100 keV Ar+ ions (from 1.2 x 10(14) to 1.2 x
10(15) cm-2). After implantation the samples are furnace annealed at t
emperatures from 100 to 450-degrees-C. The depth profiles of the impla
nted Ar atoms and radiation damages before and after annealing are obt
ained from random and channeled RBS spectra. The influence of prelimin
ary boron implantation on the distribution of radiation damages create
d during subsequent argon implantation is studied. It is shown that th
e annealing behaviour of implanted layers depends on the degree of sil
icon amorphization.
