Abstract
We report new observations on cw laser annealing of ion implanted Silicon which have enabled us to determine the time necessary to nucleate a slip dislocation in silicon. Optical microscopy and x-ray topography of 50 to 80 µm diameter spots annealed from 10 to 1000 ms indicate that pulses shorter than ~ 50 ms will not introduce slip dislocations even for those cases where the surface regrows via a liquid phase epitaxial process.
