The effect of boron ion implantation at dose of 1.25 × 1012 cm−2 and implantation energies varying from 30 to 100 keV as well as of isochronous annealing on the energy spectrum of shallow traps in SiSiO2 structures is investigated. Parameters of levels are determined by the method of thermally stimulated charge release at cryogenic temperatures (T < 20 K). A set of shallow levels in the range of 0.013 to 0.062 eV from the conduction band edge is observed. It is shown that an isochronous annealing of structures implanted with boron ions at different implantation energies does not affect the energy spectrum of the shallow traps but has an influence mainly on the relation between their densities. A model which explain the obtained experimental dependences is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
