Abstract
Using β-NMR with12B as nuclear probes the temperature dependence of the lattice-site occupation of boron implanted into heavily doped silicon is studied. In p-type material the unperturbed substitutional fraction of12B increases from 10% at 300 K to ≃40 % at 950 K. In n-type material this fraction starting from 20% at 300 K approaches the saturation value of ≃80 % at 600 K already. This behaviour suggests that the site of implanted boron in silicon is controlled by the Fermi level.
