Abstract

In this study we present the results of Positron Beam Annihilation (PBA) experiments on the gettering of copper in Cz-Si implanted with 33 keV He+ ions with doses ranging from 0.5 to 3× 1016cm−2 followed by an anneal treatment at 1100 K under N2 ambient. For the higher doses this yields a sub-surface layer containing nanometer sized cavities. Copper is introduced into these cavities by diffusing from the backside of the wafer at 1000 K, again under N2 ambient. Mapping of the S and W Doppler broadening parameters, with the implantation dose as running parameter, shows the formation of cavities. After the Cu in-diffusion the change in the values of the characteristic S-W cluster points clearly demonstrates the arrival of Cu at the internal surface of the cavities.
