ABSTRACTChalcogen (S,Se,Te) -doped silicon samples were hydrogen neutralized by different passivation techniques. The electrically active double-donor densities were determined by DLTS measurements. DLTS spectra reveal that both donor levels recover simultaneously. The activation energy for re-activation of neutralized isolated and pure pair sulphur double-donors is Ea(So/+) = 2,13 ± 0,15 eV and Ea(S2o/+) = 2,1 ± 0,15 eV, respectively.

ABSTRACTHigh quality, low defect density, single crystalline silicon/germanium alloys have been grown on Si(100) substrate wafers in a low temperature UHV-CVD reactor. Using a silane/germane gaseous source, the growth rate of the epitaxial layer increases from 4 angstroms/minute with no germane present to 82 angstroms/minute with 12.7% germane present in the reaction gas mixture at 550C. The germanium/silicon ratio in the deposited alloy is a factor of two greater than the germane/silane ratio in the reaction gas mixture. The kinetics of this effect are studied and correlation to UHV hydrogen thermal desorption from single crystal silicon-germanium alloys are made.

The basic processes are described occurring in the case of the diffusion of carbon monoxide CO and silicon monoxide SiO through a layer of single-crystal silicon carbide SiC. This problem arises when a single-crystal SiC layer is grown by the method of atom substitution due to the chemical reaction of a crystalline silicon substrate with CO gas. The reaction products are the epitaxial layer of SiC and the gas SiO. It has been shown that CO and SiO molecules decompose in SiC crystals. Oxygen atoms migrate through interstitials in the [110] direction only with an activation energy of 2.6 eV. The migration of Si and C atoms occurs by the vacancy mechanism in the corresponding sublattices with activation energies of 3.6 eV and 3.9 eV, respectively, and also in the [110] direction only.

The realisation of high quality silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SGOI) is a major goal for the field of silicon photonics because it has the potential to enable extremely low power active devices functioning at the communication wavelengths of 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm. In addition, SGOI has the potential to form faster electronic devices such as BiCMOS transistors and could also form the backbone of a new silicon photonics platform that extends into the mid-IR wavelengths for applications in, amongst others, sensing and telecoms. In this paper, we present a novel method of forming single crystal, defect-free SGOI using a rapid melt growth technique. We use tailored structures to form localised uniform composition SGOI strips, which are suitable for the state-of-the-art device fabrication. This technique could pave the way for the seamless integration of electronic and photonic devices using only a single, low cost Ge deposition step.

The formation of buried oxide structures in single crystal silicon by high-dose oxygen ion implantation has received considerable attention recently for applications in advanced electronic device fabrication. This process is performed in a vacuum, and under the proper implantation conditions results in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure with a top single crystal silicon layer on an amorphous silicon dioxide layer. The top Si layer has the same orientation as the silicon substrate. The quality of the outermost portion of the Si top layer is important in device fabrication since it either can be used directly to build devices, or epitaxial Si may be grown on this layer. Therefore, careful characterization of the results of the ion implantation process is essential.
