Ov. Aleksandrov et al., The influence of electrically inactive impurities on the formation of donor centers in silicon layers implanted with erbium, SEMICONDUCT, 34(5), 2000, pp. 510-513
The influence of the additional implantation of electrically inactive impur
ities of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine on the formation of donor c
enters in silicon implanted with erbium was studied. It is shown that addit
ional implantation brings about an increase in the concentration of donor c
enters formed during anneals. Variation in the concentration of donor cente
rs depends on the type of introduced impurity. The results indicate that el
ectrically inactive impurities are involved in the formation of donor cente
rs. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
