摘要
The minority carrier lifetime (MCL)/flow pattern defect of B and Ge co-doped Czochralski silicon (CZ-Si) was increased/decreased with the initial Ge concentration up to 3 x 10(20) cm(-3) and decreased/increased at higher Ge concentrations. Secco etch pit defects were increased in heavily (>= 3 x 10(20) cm(-3)) Ge co-doped CZ-Si (grown at low growth rate), which resulted in a low MCL. The influence of Ge on microdefect variation was relatively lower than the crystal growth rate in heavily Ge co-doped CZ-Si. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
