Implantation of silicon using the boron cluster BF2
Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to model the implantation of boron into silicon at low energies using boron difluoride. It is shown that at a molecular impact energy of 460 eV the implantation profiles have an orientation dependence with penetration of the boron furthest when the F atoms are aligned perpendicular to the surface, The simulations also predict maximum damage in the surface layer where a peak in the fluorine atoms also occurs. The boron distribution is flatter with a peak which is deeper at: 10-15 Angstrom.
