ABSTRACTThis paper describes recent progress on nucleation and growth of oxide precipitates and stacking faults in Czochralski silicon. Conclusions on the growth kinetics of oxide precipitates are drawn from the experiments and analysis of growth kinetics of two-dimensional precipitates: The experimentally obtained growth kinetics, three-quarter power law is theoretically derived and the precipitate growth is demonstrated to be diffusion-limited by oxygen interstitials. The formation mechanism of stacking faults is the Bardeen-Herring mechanism. Based on diffusional growth model, the growth kinetics of stacking faults are analyzed, assuming a coexistence of self-interstitial supersaturation and vacancy undersaturation. It is found that the growth is driven by vacancies in undersaturation. Vacancy component of self-diffusion has been determined and found to be predominant at low temperature. The possibility of growth model proposed for increase of oxide precipitate density during annealing has been excluded. Both processes, homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, have been taking place during annealing.

ABSTRACTThe kinetics of light-induced defect generation in a-Si:H was investigated over a wide range of illumination intensities and temperatures. The defect density around 1016cm-3 exhibits a power-law time dependence Ns ∼ G2εfε with ε = 0.2 to 0.3, where G is the photo-carrier generation rate. A model for the kinetics of defect generation is proposed based on the existence of an exponential distribution of defect formation energies in the amorphous network, associated with the valence band tail states. The model reproduces the observed time dependence of the defect density with an exponent e determined by the exponential width of the valence band tail. The temperature dependence of the defect generation rate is well-reproduced by the model, which provides a connection between the Stabler-Wronski effect and the weak-bond model.

The IR absorption spectra and kinetics of the oxygen solid solution decay were studied in the Si1¡xGex crystals (0 · x · 0:055) plastically deformed at 680±C up to the 2{5% residual strain. It is found that the defects of non-dislocation nature, the dislocation trails, are formed during the plastic deformation of all studied SiGe crystals. The ¯ne structure of the IR absorption spectra around the 1000 cm¡1 wave number is found to be nearly identical in the pure Si (no Ge) samples and Si1¡xGex crystals with x · 0:02. At higher x the ¯ne structure was not detected due to the alloy-related broadening. In all studied crystals, the decay of the supersaturated oxygen solid solution at 650±C is determined by oxygen agglomeration at the dislocation trails as shown by the comparison with the samples annealed at 1150±C.
