The damage and annealing behavior of 1.56 MeV Sb+ ion implanted Si(100) have been studied. The dose range of implantation was 2 × 1013-5 × 1015 Sb+/cm2. The samples were annealed for 30 minutes in flowing Ar gas at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1050 ℃ in a conventional furnace tube. The implantation-induced damage and annealing quality of the samples were measured with 3 MeV He+ RBS/channeling and TEM techniques. In addition
a computer simulation of ion implantation damage has been performed with TRIM program. It is concluded that the category of defects is related to ion dose and annealing temperature of samples.
