In the energy range from 10 to 540 keV, we have determined Si sputtering yield as a function of energy of C
ions, and the number density of Si atoms displaced from the lattice site and carbon concentration in the surface layer as a function of C
-ion fluence. Small pieces of Si(100) wafer were irradiated with 10-, 50-keV C
and 400-keV C
ions. The fluence of the C
ion was 10
to 10
C
/cm
. The number of Si atoms displaced from their lattice sites per cm
was determined from the peak area of a surface peak of backscattering yields of 2-MeV He
ions for
100
-axial alignment of a Si crystal. Carbon concentration in the surface layer was determined with the nuclear reactions
C (d, p
)
C using 1.2-MeV D
. Another set of Si samples were irradiated with 200-keV Ar
ions at the fluence of 5
10
/cm
prior to the C
-ion irradiation in order to prepare an amorphous layer at the surface; then, they were irradiated with 10
120-keV C
and 200
540-keV C
ions. Si sputtering yields were determined from the thickness change of the amorphous layer measured with Rutherford-backscattering spectrometry using 2-MeV He
ions. Effect of C
-ion bombardment on a Si surface will be discussed comprehensively.
