Auger electron emission from Si excited by ion bombardment with He+, Ne+, Ar+, and Xe+ are reported for ion energies in the range of 1 to 3 keV. The data supports the view that symmetric collisions between Si atoms in the sample are responsible for the observed Auger emission. The relative strength of atomiclike L2,3MM and bulk L2,3VV Auger features in the measured spectra were independent of both ion species and ion energy employed in this study.
