AbstractAnnealing of hydrogenated p-type silicon with a reverse bias applied to a Schottky diode allows us to precisely determine the dissociation frequency vA of shallow acceptor-hydrogen pairs (AH with A = B, Al, Ga, and In). The temperature dependent values of vA satisfy the relation vA = voAexp (-EA/kT), with voB = 2.8 . 1014 s-1, voAl = 3.1 . 1013 s-1, VoGa = 6.9 . 1013 s-1, and voIn = 8.4 · 1013 s-1. The dissociation energies EA depend only weakly on the acceptors: EB = (1.28±0.03)eV, EAl = (1.44±0.02) eV, EGa = (1.40±0.03) eV, and EIn = (1.42±0.05) eV. The dissociation frequency of BH pairs shifts to a lower value when H is replaced by the deuterium isotope.

ABSTRACTDeuterium diffusion profiles in medium phosphorus doped silicon (1016 and 1017 cm−3) at two different deuteration temperatures (120 and 150°C) are simulated with an improved version of a previously reported model. The new approach which excludes the H2 molecule formation, as applied recently to ptype silicon, allows the determination of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters such as diffusion coefficients, activation and dissociation energies. These parameters 6re compared with those found for p-type silicon and discussed in the light ofavailable data for n-type material.

The electrical properties of dome-shaped and pyramid-shaped Ge Quantum Dots (QDs) embedded in p-type Silicon are reported. Capacitance-Voltage (T-CV) characteristics are reported for the temperature range of 35 K to 296 K. The T-CV results showed the desired charge carrier density of the Silicon, on the order of 1016 cm-3, at room temperature. Two shoulders are observed in the CV curves between 270 K and 175 K. They are explained as charge stored in the dome- and pyramid-shaped QDs. Below 175 K, only one shoulder is observed in the CV measurements, attributed to charge trapped in dome-shaped QDs. The DLTS study confirms these results. Using a reverse bias between -0.1 V and -1 V two peaks are seen at 50 and 70 K. They are explained in terms of the boron state (the one at 50 K) and charged stored on pyramid-shaped Ge QDs (the one at 70 K). Increasing the reverse bias from -1 V to -1.4 V shows the appearance of a peak around 60 K, attributed to dome-shaped Ge QDs. At the same time, a shoulder appears around 100 K for -1 V, which extends to larger temperatures as the reverse bias magnitude is increased. The activation energies found are around 50 meV (due to Boron), 150 to 250 meV (due to pyramid-shaped Ge QDs), 300 to 350 meV (due to dome-shaped Ge QDs) and 425 meV (due to both dome- and pyramid-shaped Ge QDs).

ABSTRACTThe effects of the implantation parameters (dose and energy) on the Arsenic redistribution and outdiffusion rate in (100) p-type silicon, after 7–12 s Rapid Thermal Annealing in the 1100–1200°C temperature range have been investigated. Four doses ranging from 2×1014 to l×1016 cm−2, and As+ energies between 70 and 170 keV, have been studied. The experimental diffusion profiles obtained from the SIMS measurements, in complement with the RBS results, were modelled using the one dimensional Fick's equation with semi-infinite boundary conditions, using a concentration and temperature dependent diffusion coefficient D(C, T). The As diffusivity was classically attributed to As+V0, As+V−, and As+V − pairs with the related diffusion coefficients taken from the literature. A relatively good description of the As redistribution was obtained without introducing any transient or SPE effects.
