Abstract
The structure of oxygen - implanted (up to a dose 6x10(17) cm(-2)) silicon, Si:O, treated at 1400 - 1550 K under high (up to 1.5 GPa) argon pressure, was investigated by numerous methods. The oxygen distribution peak narrowed , the dimensions of extended defects decreased and the peak intensity in th e Si - O - Si asymmetric stretching vibrational mode diminished with pressu re, That effects are explained by decreased misfit at the SiO2-x / Si bound ary and more numerous nucleation sites created in Si:O treated at high pres sure.
