ABSTRACTIntrinsic gettering of iron in silicon has been investigated with a novel quantitative approach. Concentrations of electrically active, interstitial iron were determined by Electron Pararnagnetic Resonnance before, and after, various annealing cycles, using Cz silicon with oxygen precipitates of different well defined morphologies. Significant differences in the gettering rate in as-grown Cz and Cz silicon with high temperature oxygen precipitates were found. High temperature treatments after metal gettering resulted in the re-emission of the transition metal atoms for both as-grown and high temperature precipitated Cz silicon. This allowed the conclusion that gettering took place via FeSi2 formation in these cases and did not involve any thermally more stable phases.

AbstractThree different materials crystallizing in the cubic Ir3Ge7 type are under investigation in our group, namely Mo3(Sb,Te)7, Nb3(Sb,Te)7, and Re3(E,As)7 (with E = Si, Ge, Sn). Our electronic structure calculations reveal a band gap to occur at 55 valence-electrons in all three cases, namely Mo3Sb5Te2, Nb3Sb2Te5, and Re3EAs6. Cubic holes exist in these structures that may be filled with small cations such as 3d transition metal atoms. Ni0.06Mo3Sb5.4Te1.6 is a degenerate p-type semiconductor that reaches ZT = 0.96 at 750°C, while Re3Ge0.6As6.4 is a degenerate n- type semiconductor with slightly lower ZT values. Preliminary results indicate that the Re3(Sn,As)7 system may be the most promising of the rhenium arsenides.
