Abstract
We present experimental data relating to the slow stage of the illumination-induced or electron-injection-induced generation, in crystalline p -type silicon, of the carrier-recombination center believed to be the defect complex (Bs O2i) + formed by diffusion of oxygen interstitial dimers O 2i ++ to substitutional boron atoms Bs- and, taking account of those data, we consider a detailed theoretical model for the kinetics of the diffusion reaction. The model proposes that the generation rate of the (Bs O2i) + defects is controlled by the capture of a majority-carrier hole by the dimer following the capture of a minority-carrier electron and by the Coulomb attraction of the O 2i ++ to the Bs- atom, and leads to predictions for the defect generation rate that are in excellent quantitative agreement with experiment.
