Approximately half <strong>of</strong> the nominal 2×10 14 cm -2 implanted Xe appears to be contained<br />

within the peak. The remainder is assumed to have diffused out.<br />

Depth (nm)<br />

Since the depth <strong>of</strong> the Xe accumulat<strong>ion</strong> is closely related to the <strong>energy</strong> (hence<br />

depth) <strong>of</strong> the BF2 + implant into the amorphous Si, it was also interesting to study the<br />

behaviour <strong>of</strong> the F <strong>and</strong> B. TRIM calculat<strong>ion</strong>s show that for the <strong>low</strong> BF2 implant<br />

energies used in this study, B <strong>and</strong> F projectiles have similar ranges. The depth pr<strong>of</strong>iles<br />

<strong>of</strong> 1.16 keV F, 0.67 keV B, 0.39 keV F <strong>and</strong> 0.22 keV B, corresponding to 3 <strong>and</strong> 1 keV<br />

BF2 <strong>implants</strong>, respectively, are shown in Figure 7.3. For 3 keV BF2 + the mean projected<br />

range (Rp) <strong>of</strong> F is ~ 4.7 nm, <strong>and</strong> for 1 keV ~ 2.3 nm. The depth <strong>of</strong> the Xe accumulat<strong>ion</strong><br />

is close to 3 × Rp i.e. towards the end <strong>of</strong> the B <strong>and</strong> F ranges.<br />
