摘要
We review the most significant advances in the application of beam-based Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) to ion implantation induced defects in silicon. Recent developments in the experimental technique and some prominent success stories are highlighted. These include descriptions of 2-detector Doppler broadening, enhanced depth resolution and beam lifetime measurements and applications to ion beam dosimetry, SIMOX formation and impurity gettering. The review concludes with suggestions for future trends in PAS. The technique is currently enjoying a high profile in ion implantation research. However, the need for the PAS community to consolidate current understanding and develop further the measurement and interpretation of data is paramount if PAS is to be regarded as the technique of choice for probing open-volume defects in silicon.
