Degradation of oxide-passivated boron-diffused silicon

Thomson, Andrew F.; McIntosh, Keith R.

Description

Recombination in oxide-passivated boron-diffused silicon is found to increase severely at room temperature. The degradation reaction leads to a 45 fold increase in emitter recombination that saturates in ∼120 days, irrespective of whether the samples received a forming-gas anneal. The degradation was also examined for diffusions stored at 50, 75, and 100 °C. The results indicate that the degradation follows a second-order reaction where the time constant of one component of the reaction is...[Show more]
