摘要
In this letter, we demonstrate that silicon can be doped with electrically active sulfur donors beyond the solubility limit of 3 x 10(16) cm(-3). We investigate the sulfur doping profile at the surface of femtosecond-laser processed silicon with secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and capacitance-voltage measurements. SIMS confirms previous observations that the fs-laser process can lead to a sulfur hyperdoping of 5 x 10(19) cm(-3) at the surface. Nevertheless, the electrical measurements show that less than 1% of the sulfur is electrically active as a donor. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
