- 13. Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 145501 (2006) , “Identification of the Carbon Antisite-Vacancy Pair in 4H-SiC”, T. Umeda, N. T. Son, J. Isoya, E. Janzn, T. Ohshima, N. Morishita, H. Itoh, A. Gali, M. 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.

- 15. 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 2.12Âą0.08âeV. After a long annealing time at 700ÂşC, 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.

- 25. 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 â 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)

- 27. 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.

- 29. 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 ⧠600ÂşC and the activation energy of the annealing process was ď˝2 eV. It was concluded that these centers were due to electrons of broken bonds in the cores of dislocations with edge components.
