23. The number of defects per ion, per unit depth was obtained by the simulation code TRIM, see J. F. Ziegler, J. P. Biersack, and U. Littmark, The Stopping Range of Ions in Solids (Pergamon, New York, 1985). The fraction of these defects that are electrically active was calculated self-consistently by fitting the resistivity vs dose curves, as in Ref. 19.
