The segregation of 6 Mev S-implanted Si during RTA between 700 and 1200 °C has been closely studied. A model has been proposed in which self-interstitial atoms induce S to segregate into the bulk Si at ∼700°C and vacancies induce S to segregate towards the implanted surface at the higher temperatures. The binding energy between the SIA and S has been measured to be ∼0.5 eV.
