ABSTRACTThe evolution of defects in Czochralski and epitaxial p- and n-type silicon wafers following irradiation with He. Si or Ge ions at 80 K has been investigated by in situ deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Defect annealing and formation reactions have been observed over the temperature range 80–350 K. In p-type silicon, new species-dependent levels are observed immediately after implantation, but these levels anneal out at or below room temperature. The wellknown divacancy and interstitial defects, usually reported after room temperature implantation, are revealed in the DLTS spectra only upon annealing at 160–200 K. In n-type silicon, vacancy-oxygen pairs are observed immediately after implantation. However, vacancy-related defects continue to form over a broad temperature range in samples implanted with Si or Ge. These observations are consistent with a model whereby vacancies and interstitials are released from defect clusters at temperatures >200 K to form divacancies and other defect pairs which are stable at room temperature.

The evolution of irradiation-induced and hydrogen-related defects in n-type silicon in the temperature range 0 – 300 °C has been studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and minority carrier transient spectroscopy (MCTS). Implantation of a box-like profile of hydrogen was performed into the depletion region of a Schottky diode to undertake the DLTS and MCTS measurements. Proportionality between the formation of two hydrogen-related deep states and a decrease of the vacancy-oxygen center concentration was found together with the appearance of new hydrogen-related energy levels.

AbstractElectron traps in Czochralski–grown n-type (100) silicon with and without donor annihilation annealing have been studied by deep–level transient spectroscopy. A total of eight electron traps are observed in the concentration range 1010 –1011 cm −3. It is thought that these are grown–in defects during crystal growth cooling period including donor annihilation annealing. It is suggested that two electron traps labelled A2 (Ec–0.34 eV) and A3 (Ec–0.38 eV) of these traps are correlated with oxygen–related defects. It is shown that traps A2 and A3 are formed around 400 ° C and disappear around 500–600 ° C.
