Abstract
The solubility of several dopants (Sb, Ga, Bi, In) in laser treated silicon has been investigated. The dopants were introduced by vacuum deposition followed by a ruby laser irradiation. Their solubility was determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry measurements in channeling and random conditions. In all cases a solubility limit Cml higher than the equilibrium solubility was found and a simple correlation with the equilibrium distribution coefficient kO could be established : Cml = 8.6 × 1021 k0.51O cm-3
