摘要
Experiments have established two modes of enhanced oxygen diffusion in silicon, one involving only oxygen atoms and the other catalyzed by hydrogen. We report state-of-the-art first-principles calculations and determine migration pathways for a self-enhanced mode via oxygen dimers and for the H-enhanced mode via oxygen-hydrogen complexes. The concerted atomic motions are physically transparent and the corresponding reduced activation energies agree with experimental data. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
