摘要
A systematic Fourier-transformed infrared-spectroscopy study of oxygen and carbon in isolated form and as complexes in the silicon lattice has revealed a direct correlation between the decrease of substitutional carbon concentration and the decrease of interstitial oxygen concentration during 750°C annealing. At a concentration exceeding 2 ppma, carbon was also found to enhance oxide precipitate growth. After completing a three-step annealing (1100°C+750°C+1000°C), an oxide-precipitate-related IR-absorption band was observed. The changes of the IR-absorption band were correlated with annealing-induced changes in the state of carbon. A direct incorporation of carbon into oxide precipitates, and/or carbon interaction with silicon self-interstitials generated during oxygen precipitation, are suggested to have an effect on reducing lattice strain associated with the oxygen-precipitation process.
