摘要
Shielded Hydrogen Passivation (SHP) has been shown to be an effective technique to introduce atomic hydrogen to silicon samples. This allows the study of hydrogen related defects at a range of temperatures without any UV or other process damage. It is found that at 350 degrees C, introduction of atomic hydrogen can cause near surface damage into n-type material that greatly reduces carrier lifetime. In contrast, p-type samples showed no initial degradation, followed by signs of degradation under hot light soaking.
