Abstract
Different polymers were implanted with 50-200 keV heavy ions to fluenc es of greater than or equal to 1 x 10(15) cm(-2) and the concentration depth profiles of the implanted atoms were measured by standard Ruthe rford backscattering technique (RBS). The ex perimental projected rang es were found to he 10-30% lower than those estimated by the TRIM91 co de. The measured range stragglings, on the other hand, are by a factor of 1.4-2.4 higher than the calculated ones. The discrepancies are exp lained by the loss of matter juring the implantation process.
