Abstract

The influence of in-situ electronic perturbations on defect generation during 150 keV proton implantation into biased silicon p-n junctions has been investigated. The concentration and spatial distribution of the deep traps were characterized using a modification of the double corelation deep level transient spectroscopy technique (D-DLTS). With the in-situ electric field applied, a decrease in concentration of vacancy-related, as well as H-related, traps was observed. 500 keV He+ implantation was also performed to supplement the above studies and to differentiate any passivation effects due to hydrogen. A model based on the charge states of hydrogen and vacancies was used to explain the observed behaviour.
