Notes:
We investigated the formation and annihilation of H-point defect complexes formed in C-doped Si by heating at high temperatures followed by quenching in hydrogen gas. Specimens of C-doped Si were sealed in quartz capsules together with hydrogen (H) gas, at pressure 0.8–1.5 atm at high temperature, and were heated at high temperature for 1 h followed by quenching in water. We measured their optical absorption spectra at about 7 K with an Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. We observed several optical absorption peaks due to H-point defect complexes. The optical absorption peaks observed at 2192 and 2203 cm−1 were assigned to the Si–H stretching mode of three hydrogen atoms bound to a vacancy (VH3 defect). The formation of the VH4 defect is due to the reaction between H and the VH3 defect. From isothermal annealing experiments, the activation energy for the dissociation of the VH4 defect was determined to be about 2.5 eV. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
