BockstedteThe metastability of vacancies was theoretically predicted for several compound semiconductors alongside their transformation into the antisite-vacancy pair counterpart; however, no experiment to date has unambiguously confirmed the existence of antisite-vacancy pairs. Using electron paramagnetic resonance and first principles calculations we identify the SI5 center as the carbon antisite-vacancy pair in the negative charge state (CSiVC-) in 4H-SiC. We suggest that this defect is a strong carrier-compensating center in n-type or high-purity semi-insulating SiC.

Watkins.By combining several spectroscopic techniques, we have observed a new type of bistable center in electron-irradiated silicon and have identified it as an interstitial-carbonsubstitutional-carbon pair. The positive and negative charge states of the defect share a common stable configuration which... (Read more)
- 50. Lattice Defects in Semiconductors 23, 1-22 (1975) , Institute of Physics, London , “EPR Studies of the Lattice Vacancy and Low-Temperature Damage Processes in Silocon”, G. D. Watkins.EPR studies of silicon irradiated at 20.4 K and 4.2 K by 1.5 MeV and 46 MeV electrons are described. In 46 MeV irradiations the dominant defects formed appear to be divavancies and other multiple defect aggregates which liberate vacancies throughout the anneal to room temperature as they reorder, recombine, etc. For 1.5 MeV irradiations group III atoms play a vital role in p- and n-type materials in trapping interstitials and stabilizing damage. Carbon and oxygen are not effective interstitial traps at these temperatures. Evidence of limited vacancy migration during irradiation is also cited. Two distinct excited configurations of vacancy-oxygen pairs are identified as precursors to A-centre formation in n-type silicon. The kinetics for their conversion to A-centres depends strongly upon the Fermi level as does the isolated vacancy migration energy whhich is measured to be 0.18 Âą 0.02 eV for the Vďź charge state. The vacancy has four charge states, Vďź, V0, Vďź and Vďź. Kinetics for hole release from Vďź reveals an activation barrier of 0.057 eV. The concentration of Vďź at 20.4 K in boron-doped material indicates the corresponding donor level even closer to the band edge, approximately EV ďź 0.039 eV. Jahn-Teller energies for V0, Vďź, and Vďź are estimated from stress-alignment studies and confirmed to be large. Kinetics studies for reorientation from one Jahn-Teller distortion to another are also described for each charge state.

Goldstein.Single crystal sylicon, both with and without oxygen, has been diffused with lithium to concentrations ď˝1017/cm3, irradiated woth 1 to 1.5 MeV electrons, and the ensuing defects studies by EPR measurements. The presene of oxygen strongly affects the properties of these defects. Measurements have indicated the presence of two new defects which involve Li---one in O-containing material and one in O-free material. The defects are observed in their electron-filled state, and indicate a net electron spin of 1/2. The defect spectra disappear (with time) at room temperature, and can be explained by the formation of other Li-involved defects which lie deeper in the energy bandgap and are not visible by EPR. Electron irradiatioin at 40ÂşK followecd by annealing at higher temperatures show that both EPR defects described above begin to form at about 200ÂşK and begin to decrease at about 275ÂşK---just as does the 250ÂşK reverse annealing observed generally for n-type Si. Based on these data, and the work of others, it is suggested that both defects form as a result of the motion of Si interstitial which produce a (Li-O-interstitial) complex in O-containing Si, and (Li-interstitial) complex in O-free Si.

McDonaldInfrared and electron-spin-resonance measurements on the recovery of silicon irradiated with 1.5-MeV electrons are presented. In the infrared measurements the disappearance of the previously reported 829-cm-1 (12?) oxygen vibration band is followed, and the appearance and subsequent... (Read more)
