The importance of point defects in semiconductor and function materials has been studied in detail, but effective means for detecting point defects has not been available for a long time. The end of range defects in Si, produced by 140 keV Ge+ implantation, were investigated as detectors for measuring the interstitial concentration created by 42 keV B+ implantation. The concentration of interstitial resulting from the B+ implantation and the behavior of the interstitial flux under different annealing condition were given. The enhanced diffusion in the boron doped EPI marker, resulting from mobile non-equilibrium interstitials was demonstrated to be transient. Interstitial fluxes arising from processing can be detected by transient enhanced diffusion (TED) of doped marker layers as well.
