Abstract

A semiconductor method includes thermally treating at least a portion of a substrate so as to generate a plurality of vacancies in a region at a depth substantially near to a surface of the substrate. The substrate is then quenched so as to substantially maintain the vacancies in the region substantially near to the surface of the substrate.
