   Abstract:
   The study was undertaken to provide a physical basis for understanding sheet resistivity behavior. Single crystal (001) silicon wafers were first implanted through a 200 Å screen oxide with 8×10¹⁵ arsenic ions/cm² at 150 keV. Samples were then annealed isochronally (30 min.) in the temperature range 400 to 1100°C, at 100°C intervals. Sheet resistivity measurements were taken at room temperature with a four point probe. The implanted region was finally observed with a transmission electron microscope to correlate sheet resistivity with defect structures. Results show that three commonly identifiable ranges of electrical activity as a function of annealing temperature are each associated with a distinct type of defect structure
