The ion-beam synthesis of InSb nanocrystals in the buried SiO
2
layer of a silicon-on-insulator structure is investigated. The distributions of In and Sb atoms after annealing at a temperature of
T
a
= 500–1100°C are studied. It is established that the redistribution of implanted atoms is unsteadily dependent on the annealing temperature. The formation of InSb nanocrystals occurs at
Ta
≥ 800°C near the Si/SiO

interface and at a depth corresponding to the mean paths

. Analysis of the profiles of implanted atoms and of the structure and depth distribution of nanocrystals formed allows an inference regarding the two-stage character of formation of the InSb phase. In the initial stage, antimony precipitates are formed; further the precipitates serve as nuclei for indium and antimony to flow to them.
