Abstract:
Hydrogen passivation of iron in silicon is investigated by measuringthe recombination-active FeB-concentration with the light-induced FeB-dissociation technique. Floatzone wafers were intentionally contaminated with iron. Hydrogen passivation by annealing of the wafers with an SiNx coating leads to a decrease of the FeB concentration with about a factor 3 (from 1.2x1013 cm-3 to about 4.5x1012 cm-3). Multicrystalline silicon wafers without an intentional iron contamination show a similar decrease of the measured iron concentration after annealing with SiNx coating. Based on these results, we conclude that the FeB defect is passivated by hydrogen in-diffusion after anneal of SiNx layers.
