Abstract

In the substrate region underneath the antimony buried layer, an enhanced oxygen donor generation and a retardation of the oxygen precipitation were observed. Both phenomena can be explained by the vacancy mechanism in which the charged vacancies dominate at high temperatures. Based upon this hypothetical model, it is suggested that the intrinsic vacancy concentration could play a significant role in both oxygen thermal donor generation and oxygen precipitation in silicon.
