Electrical activation of boron-implanted silicon during rapid thermal annealing

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical activation of boron implanted in crystalline and preamorphized silicon has been investigated during rapid thermal annealing performed with halogen lamps, and the analysis of carrier profiles indicates that the time constant for activation is strongly affected by local damage and dopant concentration.
