Abstract
Light-based microwave-detected photoconductance decay method (MW-PCD) measurements on plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) SiNx surface-passivated float-zone silicon wafers of different doping type and resistivities are used to determine the dependence of the effective surface recombination velocity Seff on the injection level Δn within the wafer. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) and deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements are performed to determine the insulator charge density Qf, the interface state density Dit(E), and the capture cross sections σn(E) and σp(E). To avoid problems with leakage currents and hysteresis effects with Si-rich SiNx films, these investigations are performed on stoichiometric SiNx films.
