Range Straggle

04 Thermal Processing, Implant, Doping & Oxidation

Notation ΔRp

Definition

The statistical spread of implanted-ion penetration depth about the projected range; longitudinal range straggle is the standard deviation, ΔRp, of the depth distribution along the incident-ion direction.

Application

Used with projected range to estimate implanted dopant-depth distributions for ion-implant process design and junction engineering; lateral spread is described by a separate transverse straggle parameter.
