Modified Ostwald ripening theory is used to calculate the time evolution of the size distribution function of extended end-of-range defects in ion implanted silicon. This allows the authors to compare the time dependent self-interstitial supersaturation during post-implantation annealing in the presence of Frank-type stacking faults with that in the presence of {l_brace}311{r_brace}-defects. It is shown that the latter affect self-interstitial concentrations up to the point where they dissolve whereas the former are irrelevant from the point of view of transient enhanced diffusion.
