A simple method for the deconvolution of the experimental Rutherford backscattering spectra is described. It is based on the deconvolution of the simulated spectrum which takes into account the straggling effect and the detector resolution. The deconvolution process leads to the calculation of successive derivates of the simulated spectrum for each point. The spurious oscillations which occurred in the deconvoluted spectrum are reduced by introducing a number of neighbour points for each point during the computation of the derivates. The method is applied to determine the doses of As + and Sb + implanted into silicon.
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.
