Selenium implanation into silicon studied by DLTS technique

Abstract
Deep‐level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) has been used to determine the activation energy and spatial distribution of the electron traps introduced n‐type silicon implanted with 5×1010Se ions/cm2 at 800 keV. Radiation damage levels were demonstrated to be present up to a 600 °C anneal. After 700 °C anneal, two deep levels were found at Ec−0.225 eV and Ec−0.485 eV. The in‐depth distributions of the Ec−0.225 eV level after 600 °C anneal and of the two levels after the 700 °C anneal were determined. So, it was found that selenium is a fast diffuser and that each implanted Se ion forms one trap with two levels.
