- 24. Phys. Rev. B 72, 045219 (2005) , “Fluorine in Si: Native-defect complexes and the supression of impurity diffusion”, Giorgia M. Lopez, Vincenzo Fiorentini, Giuliana Impellizzeri, Salvatore Mirabella, Enrico NapolitaniThe transient enhanced diffusion of acceptor impurities severely affects the realization of ultrahigh doping regions in miniaturized Si-based devices. Fluorine codoping has been found to suppress this transient diffusion, but the mechanism underlying this effect is not understood. It has been proposed that fluorine-impurity or fluorine–native-defect interactions may be responsible. Here we clarify this mechanism combining first-principles theoretical studies of fluorine in Si and purposely designed experiments on Si structures containing boron and fluorine. The central interaction mechanism is the preferential binding of fluorine to Si-vacancy dangling bonds and the consequent formation of vacancy-fluorine complexes. The latter effectively act as traps for the excess self-interstitials that would normally cause boron transient enhanced diffusion. Instead, fluorine-boron interactions are marginal and do not play any significant role. Our results are also consistent with other observations such as native-defect trapping and bubble formation.

- 50. 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)

- 54. Sov. Phys. Semicond. 2, 688 (1968) , “Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of Boron in Dislocation-Free Silicon Crystals”, B. G. Zhurkin, N. A. Penin, N. N. Sibeldin.A study was made of the dependence of the EPR line of boron in uncompensated p-type silicon on the uniaxial compression, the concentration of boron in dislocation-free crystals, and on the dislocation density. It was found that an increase in the concentration of boron from 2・1016 to 1.5・1018 cm-3 broadened the resonance line. When the dislocation density was increased from zero to 2・105 cm-2, the resonance line broadened to more than twice its original width. The experiments were carried out at T = 4.2ºK and the compressive forces were applied along the [111] and [110]. The line width was practically independent of the direction of compression. The results obtained were in qualitative agreement with the theory.

GereIn the past,several attempts to observe the paramagnetic absorption from acceptors in silicon were unsuccessful.The reasons for this failure were pointed out by Kohn and are associated with the degeneracy of the valence band in silicon.We wish to report in this Letter the observation of the...
