OhshimaThe structure determination of intrinsic defects in 4H-SiC, 6H-SiC, and 3C-SiC by means of EPR is based on measuring the angular dependence of the 29Si/13C hyperfine (HF) satellite lines, from which spin densities, sp-hybrid ratio, and p-orbital direction can be determined over...

- 2. Appl. Phys. Lett. 89, 142914 (2006) , “Defect passivation in HfO2 gate oxide by fluorine”, K. Tse and J. RobertsonThe authors have calculated that fluorine substituting for oxygen gives no gap states in HfO2. This accounts for the good passivation of oxygen vacancies by F seen experimentally. Bonding arguments are used to account for why F may be the most effective passivant in ionic oxides such as... (Read more)

GongTwo occupied native defect bands are experimentally detected in pure HfO2. The density of states of band one in the middle of the band gap reduces drastically with the Al addition, while that of band two slightly above the valence-band maximum remains rather unaffected. We attribute the... (Read more)

ChangBased on theoretical calculations, we find that at p+ polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si)/HfO2 gates, Si interstitials are easily migrated from the electrode, forming HfSi bonds with a charge transfer to the electrode, and the resulting interface dipole raises the Fermi level...

- 7. J. Appl. Phys. 99, 044105 (2006) , “Passivation of oxygen vacancy states in HfO2 by nitrogen”, K. Xiong, J. Robertson, and S. J. ClarkNitrogen is known to reduce leakage currents and charge trapping in high-dielectric-constant gate oxides such as HfO2. We show that this occurs because nitrogen, substituting for oxygen atoms next to oxygen vacancy sites, repels the occupied gap states due to the neutral and positively... (Read more)

Edgar, and Gyeong S. HwangGradient-corrected density-functional calculations are used to determine the structure, stability, and diffusion of arsenic-interstitial and phosphorus-interstitial pairs in the positive, neutral, and negative charge states. For both cases, our calculations show that the neutral pair will be... (Read more)

Wang and Alex ZungerPrevious calculations on n-type doping of diamond by P and S predicted that S has a shallower level and a higher solubility than P. Our first-principles calculations show that the opposite is true: Phosphorus impurity in diamond gives rise to a shallower donor level, and has a higher bulk solid... (Read more)

YeWe propose a network rebonding model for light-induced metastability in amorphous silicon, involving bonding rearrangements of silicon and hydrogen atoms. Nonradiative recombination breaks weak silicon bonds and generates dangling bond–floating bond pairs, with very low activation energies. The... (Read more)

NashimotoWe show that Cat-CVD silicon nitride films contain more than 1019 cm−3 nitrogen-bonded Si dangling bonds, similarly to the case for conventional CVD films. However, the charge-trapping behavior of the Cat-CVD films is found to be quite different, in spite of the same origin for the dominant... (Read more)

Spin Hamiltonians for these systems were determined and had to include hyperfine contributions of the type S3I and... (Read more)
- 18. 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)
- 19. 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 Vï¼ charge state. The vacancy has four charge states, V+, V0, Vï¼ and Vï¼. 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 Vï¼ 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.
