Abstract

Rutherford backscattering and transmission electron microscopy have been used to anlayse Au implanted Si (100) samples containing various types of implantation-induced disorder both before and after annealing. Gettering and precipitation phenomena are observed indicating complex diffusion behaviour and Au-defect interactions. For samples containinkg a subsurface band of internal cavities, almost 100% of implanted Au is gettered to such cavities when annealed at 850°C for 1 h.
