ELECTRON MICROSCOPE OBSERVATION OF LATTICE DISORDER IN ION-IMPLANTED SILICON

Abstract
A technique of electron microscope observation of a replica of the chemical etched surface has been used to see the disorder produced around the single‐ion paths in In‐implanted Si. Structures of variable dimensions ranging from about 100 Å up to nearly 600 Å in diameter have been observed, with a density of about 1010 cm−2 in a very thin layer in the surface.
