    Oxygen Impurity in Crystalline Silicon

    Oxygen belongs to the most important impurities in many types of solar silicon. Interstitial oxygen is already incorporated in a supersaturated state during crystal growth. Subsequent thermal treatment during ...

    Radially non-uniform interaction of nitrogen with silicon wafers

    Reproducible and pronounced ring-like structures have been revealed on both sides of commercial grade wafers after certain regimes of annealing in pure nitrogen atmosphere at 1200 °C. To minimize residual oxyg...

    On the Impact of Grown-in Silicon Oxide Precipitate Nuclei on Silicon Gate Oxide Integrity

    Small point defect clusters grown-in during Czochralski (Cz) crystal pulling can have an important impact on gate oxide integrity (GOI) for present day high quality silicon substrates. A pronounced effect of t...

    Cu precipitation in oxidized wafers with and without a GexSi1−x heteroepitaxial layer

    Copper silicide precipitation in Czochralski silicon influenced by the existence of a GexSi1−x heteroepitaxial layer has been studied. Samples with and without a 100 nm Ge0.016Si0.984 heteroepitaxial layer were a...

    How CVD SI/GE Layer Growth is Controlled by Each one of the Reaction gas Components

    Applying the previously derived "Three-Partial-Rates" model, CVD-Si/Ge-thin film growth and composition is described as influenced by the partial pressures of silane, germane, and hydrogen chloride. The effect...
