Stacking faults in boron-implanted silicon give rise to streaks or rods of scattered x-ray intensity normal to the stacking fault plane. We have used the diffuse scattering rods to follow the growth of faults as a function of time when boron-implanted silicon is annealed in the range 925 - 1025 C. From the growth kinetics we obtain an activation energy for interstitial migration in silicon: E{sub 1} = 1.98{+-}0.06eV. The measurements of intensity and size versus time suggest that faults do not shrink and disappear but rather are annihilated by a dislocation reaction mechanism.
