Abstract The growth, movement and nature of outside dislocation, which propagate from heavily phosphorus (〉1015 ions/cm2) implanted (111), (100), and (110) silicon layers into unimplanted outside regions by a compressive strain induced during 1100° C wet O2 annealing, are investigated using transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction topography. Outside dislocations are formed, mainly on (111) planes., by the glide motion of dislocation networks formed in implanted layers during early annealing. This results in dislocations extending into the unimplanted areas to different degrees, in the order of, from the largest to smallest, (111), (110), and (100) wafers. In (110) wafers, the [001] oriented dislocations in the implanted regions rise to the surface at the implant and unimplant boundary. On the other hand, the [110] dislocations penetrate into the unimplanted region. Two sets of orthogonal 〈110〉 oriented dislocations generated in (100) implanted wafers behave in the same manner as the [001] dislocations in (110) wafers. Some sources of the compressive strain related to the generation of these dislocations are discussed.
