Low Temperature Anneal of the Divacancy in P-Type Silicon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Results are reported of a Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) study of the conversion of the divacancy, with energy level at Ev+0.19eV, to a level at Ev+0.24eV after anneal at temperatures below its dissociation temperature (300°C). In literature both levels have been associated with the donor level of the divacancy.
Diodes processed on p-type Float Zone (FZ) and Czochralski (Cz) silicon wafers with boron concentration between 0.2 and 3E15 cm−3 are irradiated with 2 MeV electrons. Before and after anneal (200°C and 250°C) DLTS spectra are recorded to get a full electrical characterisation of the induced defects.
The observed conversion is proposed to be a gradual transformation of the divacancy to a divacancy-oxygen complex.
