Influence of annealing in molecular hydrogen as well as of treatment in hydrogen plasma (hydrogenation) on the electrical properties of NiSi2 precipitates in n- and p-type silicon has been studied by means of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Both annealing and hydrogenation gave rise to noticeable changes of the shape of the DLTS-peak and of the character of its dependence on the refilling pulse duration that according to [1] allows one to classify the electronic states of extended defects as “band-like” or “localized”. In both n- and p-type samples DLTS-peak in the initial as quenched samples showed bandlike behaviour. Annealing or hydrogenation of n-type samples converted the band-like states to the localised ones but differently shifted the DLTS-peak to higher temperatures. In p-type samples, the initial “band-like” behaviour of DLTS peak remained qualitatively unchanged after annealing or hydrogenation. A decrease of the DLTS-peak due to precipitates and the appearance of the peaks due to substitutional nickel and its complexes were found in hydrogenated p-type sample after removal of a surface layer of 10-20µm.

In this study, deep levels are investigated, which are introduced by reactive ion etching (RIE) of n-type/p-type 4H-SiC. The capacitance of as-etched p-type SiC is remarkably small due to compensation or deactivation of acceptors. These acceptors can be recovered to the initial concentration of the as-grown sample after annealing at 1000oC. However, various kinds of defects remain at a total density of ~5× 1014 cm-3 in a surface-near region from 0.3 μm to 1.0 μm even after annealing at 1000oC. The following defects are detected by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS): IN2 (EC – 0.35 eV), EN (EC – 1.6 eV), IP1 (EV + 0.35 eV), IP2 (HS1: EV + 0.39 eV), IP4 (HK0: EV + 0.72 eV), IP5 (EV + 0.75 eV), IP7 (EV + 1.3 eV), and EP (EV + 1.4 eV). These defects generated by RIE can be significantly reduced by thermal oxidation and subsequent annealing at 1400oC.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the effect of an H2 plasma (150 W; 150°C; 10, 20, 50, 100 s) on unannealed and annealed (850°C, AsH3 atmosphere) LEC GaAs material. Using Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy, we have shown that the plasma induces a main bistable defect DO, which has two possible stable states Dl and D2. A complete determination of the corresponding Configuration Coordinate Diagram has been done. Finally, no correlation has been obtained between DO and the native defects EL6, EL3 and EL2. No passivation of the EL2 defect has been observed and the evolution of the D0 concentration results from the association of hydrogen with AsGa. These observations are in disagreement with the identification of EL2 with an isolated AsGa.
