ABSTRACTSteady state and transient capacitance (DLTS) measurements have been performed on a low angle tilt boundary in a germanium bicrystal, in combination with an electron microscope study of the boundary dislocation structure. A characteristic level has been found at 0.42 eV below the bottom of the conduction band, with a density about 109 cm-2 and an electronic capture cross-section about 5 × 10-12 cm2.

ABSTRACTAn experimental technique has been developed to study the electrical properties of semiconductor grain boundaries (GBs) by a focused laser beam. The laser beam is trained on a GB while the photoconductivity of the sample is measured. Both the steady-state and transient signals are recorded as functions of temperature. From these data, we obtain well-defined GB parameters, including the barrier height, interface charge density, trap energy and thermal capture cross-section. This technique allows us to examine localized regions of individual GBs in a semiconductor with multiple grains.

AbstractUsing electrical and optical DLTS analysis based on the capacitance transient measurements and taking into account the spatially dependent capture and the competition between emission and capture, parameters of Titanium levels in silicon are derived. By curve fitting the calculation to trap-filling data, the electron capture cross section of the first donor level (Ec - .284 eV) is found to be 5.8 10-15 exp (.013/kT)cm2 at ξ= 5 104 V/cm. The hole trap capture cross section of the second donor level (Ev + .260 eV) is found to be 1.97 10-17exp (-.017/kT)cm2 at zero electric field.

The thermal neutron capture cross sections of Na23 and Mn55 have been determined using the activation method. The values are 0.53 ± 0.03 and 12.7 ± 0.3 barns respectively with respect to σAul97 = 93 barns. These agree well with recent pile oscillator results. The half-life for Mn56 is found to be 2.576 ± 0.002 hr.
