Abstract:For nitrogen-doped Czochralski (NCZ) silicon, it is well known that nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) impurities can interact to form nitrogen–oxygen shallow thermal donors (N–O STDs); moreover, the N impurities can be involved into heterogeneous nucleation to facilitate the formation of grown-in oxide precipitates. However, how the N impurities participate in the growth of grown-in oxide precipitates during the post-anneal remains unclear. Besides, the correlation between the formation of N–O STDs and the growth of… Show more
