We investigated the target thickness dependence of convoy electron yields resulting from bombardments with 3.5 MeV/atom C$$_{n}$$$$^{+}$$ (n = 1 - 3) cluster ions. We observed that for bombardments with C$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$ and C$$_{3}$$$$^{+}$$ ions, the convoy electron yield per atom, Y$$_{n}$$/n, reaches a maximum around 3-5 $$mu$$g/cm$$^{2}$$ and decreases with increasing target thickness from 3.1 to 10.5 $$mu$$g/cm$$^{2}$$, and ultimately reaches an asymptotic value. This asymptotic value of the convoy electron yield was nearly proportional to the size of the cluster n, that is, Y$$_{n}$$ $$propto$$ n$$^{2}$$, consistent with previous observations. We found that the escape length of the convoy electrons for C$$_{3}$$$$^{+}$$ and C$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$ is much longer than that of C$$^{+}$$ bombardment. The present result suggests that the enhancement of the escape length could be the origin of this vicinage effect (i.e., Y$$_{n}$$ $$>$$ nY$$_{1}$$) on the convoy electron yield.
