Abstract

Protons with energies of 1 MeV and 2.5 MeV were implanted into a p-doped silicon wafer and then the wafer was annealed at 350 °C for one hour. This resulted in two n-doped layers in the otherwise p-doped sample. The carrier concentration was measured using spreading resistance profiling while the positions of the four pn-junctions were measured using electron beam induced current measurements. The carrier concentration is not limited by the available hydrogen but by the concentration of suitable radiation induced defects.
