Silicon surface contamination due to ion implantation was found by using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Silicon wafers were prepared by keeping their surface condition as identical as possible. Only minimal, necessary different process steps were received by the samples. All experimental data were analyzed on a comparative basis. Effect of incident ion mass on sputtering phenomena of the target material is discussed.
