Applied Physics Letters, 78(14), pp. 2000-2002.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/4675Silicon samples that have been ion implanted with boron at energies below 3 keV have been athermally annealed. The annealing process has been characterized using secondary ion mass spectrometry and infrared absorption spectroscopy. The athermally annealed samples show activation comparable to that for thermally annealed samples, but with much less boron diffusion. The activation is the athermally annealed samples is shown to be much higher than would be achieved by recrystallization of the amorphous layer.Text3 pages1 file (.pdf)enbaron implantssiliconathermal annealingPhysicsArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1063/1.1359784
