Abstract: | Silicon layers implanted with boron, lithium, phosphorus, and silicon are investigated by x-ray measurements of the lattice constant. It is established that, as a result of ion implantation in silicon, stable interstitial complexes are generated in concentrations comparable to those of vacancy type defects. The interstitial complexes are annealed in stages, viz., I at 140, II at 500°C in the case of irradiation of silicon with light ions, and I at 180, II at 560°C in crystals irradiated with medium mass ions.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 76–80, July, 1984.The authors are grateful to V.
