Effects of Hydrogen on Defects in Neutron Irradiated Silicon
SourceEffects of hydrogen on electrical properties and annealing behavior of radiation defects in N- and P-type Si (H) irradiated by neutron have been studied by DLTS, IR absorption, resistivity and minority carrier lifetime measurements. In as-grown and neutron irradiated Si (H), some Si -H IR bands and hydrogen-related deep centers have been observed. Because of hydrogen in silicon, the production rates of radiation defects decreased, and the passivation action of hydrogen emerged unambiguously at 200°c annealing temperature or higher. These cause the differences of annealing behavior of the resistivity and lifetime between Si(H) and Si(Ar).
