The parameters of the dual Pearson IV distribution in SUPREM-III were adjusted to minimize the sum of squares objective between Secondary Ions Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) measured as-implanted profiles of Boron at an energy of 10 keV:
Where n is the number of discrete measured points, is the SIMS concentration, and is the simulated concentration at those points. In general, the SUPREM-III grid does not match the measurement grid. A spline logarithmic interpolation was used to get the simulated profile values at the same depth as the measured concentrations. In Fig. 5.8 the excellent fit between the SIMS data and the corresponding dual Pearson distribution is shown. The single Pearson fit to the channeled and amorphized regions are also shown to illustrate how the two functions are combined.
