Abstract

An ion implantation method, in which a dopant source composition is ionized to form dopant ions, and the dopant ions are implanted in a substrate. The dopant source composition includes cluster phosphorus or cluster arsenic compounds, for achieving P- and/or As-doping, in the production of doped articles of manufacture, e.g., silicon wafers or precursor structures for manufacturing microelectronic devices.
