Abstract

Germanium atomic (Ge1) and molecular ions (Ge2) of equivalent energy are implanted in silicon at an elevated temperature. The ion induced damage has been characterized by RBS channeling (RBS/C) and positron annihilation spectroscopy. The RBS/C studies indicate that the molecular ion implantation has produced more defects in the near surface regions compared to the atomic ion implantation. This paper reports a first time observation of an enhanced production of vacancy related defects in silicon implanted with molecular ions.
