- 15. Eur. Phys. J. Appl. Phys. 27, 13-19 (2004) , “Measurement of process-induced defects in Si sub-micron devices by combination of EDMR and TEM”, T. Umeda, A. Toda, Y. MochizukiProcess-induced defects are a serious issue for modern sub-micron Si LSIs. To characterize such defects, two different techniques are useful: electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), which can detect small (point) and extended defects, respectively. We applied EDMR and TEM to the issue of defect-induced leakage currents in dynamic-random-access memory (DRAM) cells. For our DRAM samples (a 0.25- μm-rule series), although TEM showed no extended defects, EDMR successfully detected two types of point defects: V2+O x (Si divacancy-oxygen complexes) and larger Si vacancies (at least larger than V6). We confirmed that these defects are the source of DRAM leakage currents. The observed defects were formed by ion implantation processes, but were more thermally stable than those in bulk Si crystals. The origins of this enhanced stability are attributed to the presence of oxygen atoms and a strong mechanical strain in LSIs. To clarify the origin of the complicated strain in LSI structures, we can directly measure the local-strain distribution in DRAM samples by means of convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) using TEM, which provides us with a valuable hint for understanding the formation mechanism of process-induced defects.

- 17. Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 155901 (2003) , “Fluorine in Silicon: Diffusion, Trapping, and Precipitation”, X. D. Pi, C. P. Burrows, P. G. ColemanThe effect of vacancies on the behavior of F in crystalline Si has been elucidated experimentally for the first time. With positron annihilation spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy, we find that F retards recombination between vacancies (V) and interstitials (I) because V and I trap F to form complexes. F diffuses in the V-rich region via a vacancy mechanism with an activation energy of 2.12±0.08 eV. After a long annealing time at 700ºC, F precipitates have been observed by cross-section transmission electron microscopy which are developed from the V-type defects around the implantation range and the I-type defects at the end of range.

Bracht.Electric-dipole spin resonance of the deep acceptor ZnS- in Si reveals close Γ8 and Γ7 ground states with zero-field separation of only 0.31 meV as compared to the 43 meV of the two valence bands. With Landé's formula for the g factors of a 2T2 state split by spin-orbit interaction into Γ8 and Γ7 this nearness can be interpreted as strong quenching of the orbital moment. The observed dependence on the Zn isotopic mass indicates a dynamic contribution of the acceptor atom to the electronic state as is expected for a Jahn-Teller effect. (Read more)

- 53. Appl. Phys. A 30, 1 (1983) , “Transition Metals in Silicon”, E. R. Weber.A review is given on the diffusion, solubility and electrical activity of 3d transition metals in silicon. Transition elements (especially, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) diffuse interstitially and stay in the interstitial site in thermal equilibrium at the diffusion temperature. The parameters of the liquidus curves are identical for the Si:Ti — Si:Ni melts, indicating comparable silicon-metal interaction for all these elements. Only Cr, Mn, and Fe could be identified in undisturbed interstitial sites after quenching, the others precipitated or formed complexes. The 3d elements can be divided into two groups according to the respective enthalpy of formation of the solid solution. The distinction can arise from different charge states of these impurities at the diffusion temperature. For the interstitial 3d atoms remaining after quenching, reliable energy levels are established from the literature and compared with recent calculations. (Read more)

- 61. 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 ± 0.02 eV for the V= charge state. The vacancy has four charge states, V+, V0, V- and V=. Kinetics for hole release from V+ reveals an activation barrier of 0.057 eV. The concentration of V+ at 20.4 K in boron-doped material indicates the corresponding donor level even closer to the band edge, approximately EV + 0.039 eV. Jahn-Teller energies for V0, V+, and V- 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.

- 65. Radiat. Eff. 8, 229 (1971) , “Li-Defect Interactions in Electron-Irradiated n-Type Silicon by EPR Measurements”, B. Goldstein.Single crystal sylicon, both with and without oxygen, has been diffused with lithium to concentrations ~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 40ºK followecd by annealing at higher temperatures show that both EPR defects described above begin to form at about 200ºK and begin to decrease at about 275ºK---just as does the 250ºK 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.

- 68. Sov. Phys. JETP 31, 677-679 (1970) , “Electron Paramagnetic Resonance in Plastically Deformed Silicon”, V. A. Grazhulis, Yu. A. Osipyan.Lightly doped silicon crystals were investigated experimentally by the electron paramagnetic resonance method. Paramagnetic centers, generated during plastic deformation of these crystals, were detected. The concentration of these centers increased monotonically with increasing degree of deformation. The EPR spectrum of these centers was anisotropic and had a partially resolved fine structure. The centers werestrongly annealed only at temperature T ≧ 600ºC and the activation energy of the annealing process was ~2 eV. It was concluded that these centers were due to electrons of broken bonds in the cores of dislocations with edge components.
