Depth profiles of boron implanted across the SiO2-Si interface have been measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry and compared with model calculations of the impurity distributions. Analysis of the sputtering and ion yield processes near the interface are used to reconstruct the measured boron profile for comparison with the model calculations. Applicability of the method of profile reconstruction near the interface to other materials and impurities is discussed.
