6 Electrical Characterization of Defects Classic DLTS measurements use majority carrier capture and emission process to obtain a fingerprint of the defect. By monitoring the change of emission rate with temperature an activation energy is obtained. By observing the capture rate a cross section can be obtained. stage when n >> 0 capture of electrons c = n V n n th stage 2 when n ~0 emission of electrons e n = A exp (-E a/kt) deep states (ideal point defects) sergio@up.ac.za Sevilla, 203 Slide 5

V. Lang, JAP 45, 2023 (974) or Schroder, Semiconductor Material and Device Characterization
8 Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy DLTS requires a depletion (space charge) region p-n, metal-semiconductor, MOS,.. Apply zero / forward bias reverse bias pulse sequence Monitor C-t, I-t, as function of T. Transient behaviour indicates the Presence of defects with levels in the band gap Analysis of transient yields: Distiction between majority and minority carrier defects Activation enthalpy (level position), E T Capture cross section, Defect concentration, N T (x) Electric field: defect type (donor, acceptor, ) Uniaxial stress: defect orientation and symmetry DLTS Signal: C/C (x0-3 ) 3 2 As-grown ZnO 5.4 MeV -particle irradiation E2 460 Hz 46 Hz 46 Hz E3 E E4 E 2 0.

16 Our basic experiment: 4 ev Ar-ICP plasma annealing.-sb doped Ge is damaged with 5 MeV alpha particles Rest 24 hours 2.-Au diode is evaporated in half the sample (half A) 3.- DLTS on A (black) 4.-ICP on A and B: 3 x 0 min 5.- Au RE - diode B 6.- DLTS on A (red-dashed) 7.- DLTS on B (blue) 5
17 Observations 4 ev ICP: E-center concentration -30% Effect depth in Ge: exceeds 2600 nm ICP through metal less annealing Annealing diminished with higher sample temperature. x 30 minute ICP (70 C) 8 ev Ar ICP (T?) Compare to anneal with phonons: Low T (40 C) ~ 50 C High efficiency Lower efficiency sergio@up.ac.za Sevilla, 203 Slide 6
18 Our hypothesis: Ar ions impacting on Ge produce Intrinsic Localised Modes that travel through Ge and anneal defects. Why?.-ILMs with MD in metals by Hyzhnyakov group have ev 2.-The maximum energy transfer from Ar to Ge is 3.6 ev 3.- The activation energy for annealing an E center is about.36 ev 4.- Energy remains localized exceeding 4000 lattice units 5.- Increasing the energy of the plasma does not enhance the effect, this is because ILMs typically have a definite range or energies. 6. Increasing sample temperature effect diminished. 7.- At least stationary ILMs have been obtained for Si and Ge with MD. 7
19 Conclusions: Plasma of 4eV produces annealing of defects very deep in Ge. The energy delivered to E-center is ~ ev. Likely conclusions:. 4 ev Ar hit produces an ILM in Ge with very high efficiency. 2. ILM of energy ~3eV travel distances of the order of 0 4 lattice units or more. 3. The annealing efficiency of ILM with respect to phonons is extremely large. 8

21 Our basic experiment: Facts.-Sb concentration: cm -3 (n i = cm -3 ) ; Sb per 0 8 Ge 2.- Metal (Au) thickness: 25nm 3.- After ICP on Ge the E center concentration drops 29% from N T = cm If ICP is done on Au, the E center reduction is smaller, but exists. 5.- ICP is done for 30 in intervals to prevent heating 6.- Defect annealing occurs up to 2600 nm or 4600 lattice units 7.- If the plasma energy is increased the effect is smaller 8.- Thermal annealing has to be done at 50 C to obtain a similar effect. 20
