Gg. Gumarov et al., ANOMALOUS DISTRIBUTION OF IRON ATOMS FOLLOWING THE SIMULTANEOUS IMPLANTATION OF CO+ AND FE+ IONS IN SILICON, Semiconductors, 31(6), 1997, pp. 615-617
An anomalous two-peaked depth profile of Fe atoms has been observed fo
llowing the simultaneous implantation of Fe+ and Co+ ions in Si at low
ion current densities (j less than or equal to 10 mu A/cm(2)) and a 1
:3 ratio between iron and cobalt ions in the beam. Such a profile is f
ormed on condition that the time of diffusion of the iron atoms to the
sinks (the surfaces and the regions of linear defects in the bulk of
the sample) is shorter than the effective time for silicide formation.
