AbstractWe present a new IR absorption technique of measuring the dissolved interstitial oxygen concentration [Oi] and its reduction Δ [Oi] due to oxygen precipitation of the heavily-doped silicon crystal with doping level of about 1019 atoms/cm3. The method consists of the three steps: bonding the silicon wafer to a thick FZ silicon substrate by heat-treatment, thinning the wafer, and measuring the height of the 1136-cm−1 absorption peak of Oi at a temperature below 5 K. For a heavily doped wafer and the heavily doped substrate of an epitaxial wafer, we demonstrate examples of measuring the initial [Oi] and Δ [Oi] due to heat-treatment. Using this method, we investigate oxygen precipitation characteristics of the wafer heavily doped with boron. We found that the enhanced oxygen precipitation due to heavy boron-doping is expected if we perform preanneal at temperatures below 700°C.

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is the effective technique for characterization of detailed structure of semiconductor materials. Oxygen is one of the important impurities in semiconductors. Detailed structure of highly oxygen doped silicon has not clearly investigated yet. This report describes detailed structure of highly oxygen doped silicon observed by HRTEM. Both samples prepared by Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and ion implantation were observed to investigate effects of oxygen concentration and doping methods to the crystal structure.The observed oxygen doped samples were prepared by MBE method in oxygen environment on (111) substrates. Oxygen concentration was about 1021 atoms/cm3. Another sample was silicon of (100) orientation implanted with oxygen ions at an energy of 180 keV. Oxygen concentration of this sample was about 1020 atoms/cm3 Cross-sectional specimens of (011) orientation were prepared by argon ion thinning and were observed by TEM at an accelerating voltage of 400 kV.

In order to measure the concentration of arsenic atoms in nanometer regions of arsenic doped silicon, the HOLZ analysis is carried out underthe exact [011] zone axis observation. In previous papers, it is revealed that the position of two bright lines in the outer SOLZ structures on the[011] zone axis is little influenced by the crystal thickness and the background intensity caused by inelastic scattering electrons, but is sensitive to the concentration of As atoms substitutbnal for Siatomic site.As the result, it becomes possible to determine the concentration of electrically activated As atoms in silicon within an observed area by means of the simple fitting between experimental result and dynamical simulatioan. In the present work, in order to investigate the distribution of electrically activated As in silicon, the outer HOLZ analysis is applied using a nanometer sized probe of TEM equipped with a FEG.Czodiralsld-gown<100>orientated p-type Si wafers with a resistivity of 10 Ώ cm are used for the experiments.TheAs+ implantation is performed at a dose of 5.0X1015cm-2at 25keV.
