Samples of B-doped (about 1017/cm3) Czochralski material were heated to temperatures ranging from 800 to 1300C in H, and were then quenched. The concentration of [H-B] pairs was then measured by means of infra-red localized vibrational mode spectroscopy. It was concluded that the solubility of atomic H was greater than:

S(/cm3) = 5.6 x 1018 exp[-0.95(eV)/kT]

within the above temperature range. Undoped Czochralski material was also annealed under similar conditions. This showed that the diffusion of O (table 62) could be described by:

D(cm2/s) = 0.00071 exp[-2.0(eV)/kT]
