- 5. J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. sppl. II, 18, 22 (1963) , “An EPR Study of the Lattice Vacancy in Silicon”, G. D. Watkins.An EPR spectrum is observed in silicon which is identified as arising from the isolated lattice vacancy. It is observed in p-type silicon which has been irradiated in situ at~40ºK by 1.5 Mev electrons. A simple molecular orbital treatment of the vacancy is outlined which describes many of the features of the spectrum and predicts the observed anisotrophy as resulting from a Jahn-Teller distortion. Studies of the disappearance of the vacancy vs anneal are described and interpreted in terms of long range migration of the vacancy and subsequent trapping by other defects. The activation energy for vacancy motion is determined to be 0.33±.03 ev in p-type material. Further study is required in n-type silicon before an unambiguous interpretation of the emergence of vacancy-impurity pairs can be made.

- 12. 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.

- 20. 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.

- 66. Nature 396, 58-60 (1998) , “Interface structure between silicon and its oxide by first-principles molecular dynamics”, A. Pasquarello, M. S. Hybertsen, R. CarThe requirement for increasingly thin (<50 Ã…) insulating oxide layers in silicon-based electronic devices highlights the importance of characterizing the Si–SiO2 interface structure at the atomic scale. Such a characterization relies to a large extent on an understanding of the atomic-scale mechanisms that govern the oxidation process. The widely used Deal–Grove model invokes a two-step process in which oxygen first diffuses through the amorphous oxide network before attacking the silicon substrate, resulting in the formation of new oxide at the buried interface1. But it remains unclear how such a process can yield the observed near-perfect interface2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Here we use first-principles molecular dynamics13, 14, 15 to generate a model interface structure by simulating the oxidation of three silicon layers. The resulting structure reveals an unexpected excess of silicon atoms at the interface, yet shows no bonding defects. Changes in the bonding network near the interface occur during the simulation via transient exchange events wherein oxygen atoms are momentarily bonded to three silicon atoms — this mechanism enables the interface to evolve without leaving dangling bonds.

Nashiyama, S. Okada, H. Okumura, S. YoshidaPositron lifetime and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements were performed for 1-MeV electronirradiated cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC). From a comparison of the annealing behaviors of positron lifetime and ESR signal, we identified the annihilation of positrons localized at single-negative silicon vacancies. The positron lifetime at silicon vacancies was first determined experimentally to be 188|±|4 ps. This value agrees well with the theoretical positron lifetime for silicon vacancies [G. Brauer et al. Phys. Rev. B 54, 2512 (1996)]. The trapping coefficient of singlenegative silicon vacancies was also derived. (Read more)
