Description: 
B‐implanted Ge samples have been investigated by micro‐Raman spectroscopy under different excitation wavelengths, with the aim of gaining insights about the B distribution at different depths beneath the sample surface. The intensities, observed under the different excitation wavelengths, of the B–Ge Raman peak at about 545 cm−1, which is due to the local vibrational mode of the substitutional B atoms in the Ge matrix, have been used to calibrate the optical absorption lengths in B‐implanted Ge. Then, by using these calibrated values, a very sharp correlation between the spectral features of the Ge–Ge Raman peak at ~300 cm−1 and the content of substitutional B atoms has been derived. Accordingly, a non‐destructive approach, based on micro‐Raman spectroscopy under different excitation wavelengths, is presented to estimate, at least at the lowest depths, the carrier concentration profiles from the …
