Hirschman Silicon Processes: Ion Imlantation 5 Pearson-IV Distribution If an analytical solution is used, a higher-moment distribution is needed which can more accurately describe the imlanted imurity rofile Parameters adjusted to fit Monte Carlo simulations (using ion stoing theory) or actual measured rofiles (SIMS). Gaussian skewness Kurtosis Pearson-IV Distribution I. Mean (R) II. St.Dev. ( R) III. Skewness (γ) - asymmetry of the dist. IV. Kurtosis (β) - distortion of eak - larger value if flatter to K.D.
