Abstract

Residual defects in 5 keV, 5 × 10 15 /cm 2 BF + 2 implanted (001)Si samples have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The residual defects were identified to be {113} interstitial defects, (001) defect clusters, fluorine bubbles and stacking faults. For the removal of the end-of-range (EOR) defects, the activation energy was determined to be 4.5 ± 0.4 eV. It is suggested that the free surface and fluorine bubbles act as effective vacancy sources to accelerate the removal of EOR defects.
