Abstract

Silicon wafers of (100) orientation are implanted with 3 keV As + or 6 keV As2+ ions at room temperature with fluences 1 × 1014-4 × 1014 atoms cm -2. The depth profiles of implanted As are measured by high-resolution Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. The observed projected range for As2+ implantation is larger than that for As+ by several percent, showing a molecular effect on the projected range.
