The VO Defect in Electron Irradiated Czochralski Silicon

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Czochralski silicon (CZ-Si) samples were irradiated with 1.5 MeV electrons and annealed at 200 - 450 °C. It was investigated the effect of irradiation dose and interstitial oxygen content [Oi] on VO concentration by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that VO concentration increases with irradiation dose but not linear increase. The interstitial oxygen content has no effect on VO concentration. The VO intensity increases firstly and then decreases after annealing in samples with low oxygen content. The VO disappears at 450 °C. In high oxygen content samples, VO exhibits thermal stability and disappears at 400 °C.
