Oxygen precipitation in Si is a complex set of processes which has been studied over many years. Here we review theoretical work relating to the precipitation process. At temperatures around 450°C oxygen atoms become mobile and form a family of thermal double donors. The structure of these defects and the origin of their electrical activity is discussed. At temperature around 650°C these donors disappear and there is a growth of SiO2 precipitates along with rod like defects which are extended defects involving Si interstitials. At higher temperatures these collapse into dislocation loops. The structure and electrical properties of the rod like defect are described and compared with those of dislocations.

Highly transparent indium-free multilayers of TiO2/Cu/TiO2 were obtained by means of annealing. The effects of Cu thickness and annealing temperature on the electrical and optical properties were investigated. The critical thickness of Cu mid-layer with optimal electrical and optical properties was 10 nm, with the figure of merit reaching as high as 5 × 10−3 Ω−1. Partial crystallization of the TiO2 layer enhanced the electrical and optical properties upon annealing. Electrothermal experiments showed that temperatures of more than 100 °C can be reached at a heating rate of 2 °C/s without any damage to the multilayers. The experimental results indicate that reliable transparent TiO2/Cu/TiO2 multilayers can be used for electrothermal application.
