A model of high-energy ion implantation is formulated with allowance for fluctuations of the charge state of ions and the corresponding backward transport equation for post-implantation spatial distributions of an impurity. Simulation results of experiments concerned with boron ion implantation into silicon by numerical solving the backward transport equation are reported. It is shown that the account of ion charge fluctuations in the high-energy range leads to an increase of the range straggling of the implanted impurity and provides a better agreement with the experiment than the traditional methods of modelling based on the use ofthe Monte-Carlo method or the backward transport equations.
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.
