摘要
FTIR absorption measurements have been carried out on shallow donor transitions in silicon related to (N, O)-complexes. Growth of a nitrogen-doped float-zone ingot with an axial variation of the interstitial oxygen concentration from < 10(16) up to 6 x 10(17) cm(-3) allowed systematic investigation of the defect formation driven by mass-action laws. The energetically deepest shallow donor of the (N, O)-family has the composition NO. Other species contain up to three oxygen atoms. implications of the results on the microscopic structure of (N, O)-related shallow donors are discussed. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
