Abstract

Implants of B, P, and As in Si lead to dislocation formation after 900°c annealing if a critical amount of implant damage is exceeded. However, it is possible to implant higher doses without forming dislocations if the dose is implanted in several sub-critical steps. Annealing between each step removes the (sub-critical) implant damage and dislocations do not form. Such avoidance of dislocation formation is demonstrated for 80 keV implants of B and MeV implants of B, P, and As.
