Boron (B) implantation is widely used for p-type doping in silicon device fabrication. Carbon (C) co-implantation is a promising method to suppress B diffusion. Atom probe tomography (APT) is capable of obtaining a three-dimensional elemental distribution map with nearly atomic scale resolution. In this work, APT is used to investigate the effect of C on B clustering and diffusion. Our result indicate that the B cluster dissolving in B&C coimplanted sample is reduced by the presence of C, which is a possible reason for the suppression of B diffusion.
