Implants of 600~keV phosphorus into Cz-grown silicon to fluences between 2$\times$10$^8-$1$\times$10$^9$~\pcms were performed. Implants were performed in the channelling orientation and at a tilt angle equivalent to a random orientation. Samples were then examined with Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) and three defects were identified in samples: VO, V$_2^{2-}$ and V$_2^-$/VP. No variation in point-defect species was observed as implantation angle was varied in contrast with work published by others. Defect concentrations were found to increase linearly with implant fluence over the range studied, channelling however leads to a slower increase as fluence is increased. The V$_2^-$/VP defect depth profile was also obtained with DLTS. A significant amount of surface enhanced annihilation was proposed to account for the deviation of measured profiles from Crystal-TRIM simulations. Simulations however, did show a good fit to the measured profiles deeper into the sample. This suggests the influence of surface enhanced annihilation extends up to 1~\micron into the sample. Only 1.5\% of vacancies predicted to be produced could be accounted for in measurements and this was less than the expected yield of 4-10\% based on the literature. The subsequent production of secondary extended defects upon annealing in medium dose implanted samples as a function of implantation angle was also examined. Samples were implanted with 75~keV phosphorus ions to fluences in the range 1\eft$-$4.5\eftpcms and annealed at 750\degc for 10$-$15 minutes. It was found that channelling does not affect the formation threshold but does affect the size and population of defects formed. The threshold fluence at which extended defects would form was found to be reduced with an increasing annealing time. The effect of channelling on the formation of short rod-like defects is also presented for the first time. Finally, the effect of localised medium dose low energy implantation on the surface potential of thin thermal oxides on silicon was studied with Kelvin-probe Force Microscopy (KFM). Samples with either 5, 15 or 50~nm oxides were implanted with 15~keV ions of either $^{10}$B, $^{28}$Si, $^{29}$Si or $^{31}$P. It was shown that KFM was clearly able to laterally resolve implanted areas and that implantation resulted in a either an increase or decrease in the surface potential. Results suggested that oxide and silicon substrate damage manifested itself as a reduced surface potential as a result of defects with a negative charge state. It was unclear however if the increased surface potential was due to interface states or carbon-stitching on the surface. The magnitude of the change in surface potential scaled with implanted ion mass and fluence. However, as fluence was increased beyond 1$\times$10$^{13}$~\pcms the increase in surface potential began to reduce.}, Year = {2006} }
