Abstract

Defects in crystalline silicon caused by a BF+2 ion implantation dose of 3x1015cm-2 have been studied using plan-view and cross-section TEM and SIMS. Dislocations form at annealing temperatures above 1000ºC and are pinned below the Si surface by fluorine bubbles ∼10 nm diameter at a density of ∼1011cm-2. This microstructure is essentially stable at 1150ºC from 4 to 400 minutes.
