Abstract

Si wafers subject to short-time (4-12 min.), low-temperature atomic hydrogen cleaning in an electron cyclotron resonance (ESR) plasma system have been annealed subsequently in the temperature range 300-750 °C for 20 mins. While only a small broad peak is seen immediately after hydrogenation, several pronounced and distinct majority carrier trap levels show up in deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements on samples annealed at 450 °C and above. The concentrations of these deep levels reach a maximum at anneal temperatures around 500 °C and drop substantially beyond 750 °C.
