[6p-A503-11] Oxygen Diffusivity Analyzed Based on Thermal Donor Formation in Silicon Crystals
Keywords:silicon, diffusion, thermal donor
It is well known that thermal donors (TDs) is formed in silicon crystals during annealing at 400-500oC. TDs are recognized as oxygen clusters whose formation is limited by oxygen diffusion. In this work, the diffusivity of fast-diffusing oxygen species are obtained analyzing TD formation rate. As a result, it is suggested that fast-diffusing oxygen species comparable to point defects in silicon contribute to oxygen diffusion at temperatures lower than 450oC.
