ABSTRACTState-of-the-art first-principles calculations allow detailed studies of the mechanisms by which hydrogen and fluorine interact with silicon. The results for hydrogen are presented in the form of an energy diagram which includes many different configurations. The theoretical values allow a discussion of issues such as hydrogen solubility, and desorption from a Si surface. For fluorine, we investigate the behavior as an interstitial impurity in the bulk, as well as Si-F interactions at or near the surface. A study of the insertion of F atoms into Si-Si bonds elucidates the microscopic mechanisms of etching, and the dependence of etch rate on doping. Thermodynamic aspects of HF etching are briefly discussed.

First principles calculations were carried out to study the equilibrium properties of metals, including the electrons at bonding critical point; ebcp; cohesive energy; Ecoh; bulk modulus; B; and, atomic volume; V. 44 pure metals, including the s valence (alkali), p valence (groups III to V), and d valence (transition) metals were selected. In the present work, the electronic structure parameter ebcp has been considered to be a bridge connecting with the equilibrium properties of metals, and relationships between ebcp and equilibrium properties (V; Ecoh; and B) are established. It is easy to estimate the equilibrium properties (Ecoh; V, and B) of pure metals through proposed formulas. The relationships that were derived in the present work might provide a method to study the intrinsic mechanisms of the equilibrium properties of alloys and to develop new alloys.
