Three implantation effects were investigated in floating‐zone‐grown silicon: (a) the effect of Cl+ implantation resulting in the shrinkage of oxidation‐induced stacking faults; (b) the effect of F+ implantation giving rise to defaulting of the 1/3[111] Frank dislocations into 1/2[110] perfect dislocations due to the interaction with 1/6[112] Shockley partials; (c) the effect of a combined F+ and Cl+ implantation of dislocation motion. Notwithstanding the limited magnification of double‐crystal x‐ray topography it proves to be a valuable technique for determination of the effects of implantation, as removal of F; the oxidation layer is unnecessary for observation of the oxidation‐induced stacking faults. Moreover, the role of the oxide layer in the Si‐SiO2 interface can be followed more appropriately.
