摘要
This paper presents experimental studies on the interaction between C and interstitials in crystalline Si. Boron doped Si superlattices, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, were used to detect the injection of excess Si self-interstitials (I) from near-surface 5 x 10(13) cm(-2), 40 keV Si implants during annealing. The interstitial-enhanced diffusion of the B marker layers is fully suppressed when the C content is uniformly raised from 10(18) to 2 x 10(19) cm(-3), demonstrating that C acts as a trap for interstitials. The incorporation of a buried layer of C leads to a local reduction of the interstitial concentration without fully obstructing the interstitial flow towards the bulk. The interstitial trapping presumably involves the formation of mobile C-I complexes which pair with substitutional C to become immobile. The effect of C on the diffusion of interstitials in marker layer experiments and metal diffusion studies is analyzed in light of the present observations.
