Annealing of ion implantation damage and concomitant electrical activation of dopants, depth profiles, and lattice location of dopants have been studied in arsenic and boron-implanted specimens after rapid thermal annealing. A ''complete'' annealing of displacement damage with full electrical activation of dopants and profile broadening less than 100 A can be attained for shallow implants whereas some extended defects are retained for deep implants. Mechanisms of rapid thermal annealing and its implications in solid state device fabrication are discussed.
