Iron as a thermal defect in silicon

Abstract
Thermally treated silicon contains iron which can be frozen on interstitial sites by quenching. EPR, combined with neutronactivation analysis of heat‐treated and as‐grown silicon, shows that the iron diffuses into the crystal from sources outside the specimen. It can be found mostly in the T d interstitial site. The untreated floating‐zone silicon includes only 1013 Fe/cm3.
