Concentrations of defects in amorphous SiO 2 created by implantation of 10 MeV protons were examined. The depth profile of Si-Si bonds, E′ centers, or peroxy radicals (PORs) was close to that of electronic energy loss. Interstitial O 2 molecules were identified and their concentration was larger than that of PORs. The total concentration of the Si-Si bonds and E′ centers was comparable to that of the interstitial O 2 and PORs. These results provide experimental evidence that Frenkel defect formation of an oxygen occurs in amorphous SiO 2 by dense electronic excitation. The efficiency of the Frenkel defect formation was estimated as∼ 5× 10− 7 eV− 1.
