Intentional thermal donor activation in magnetic Czochralski silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have made a quantitative study about the thermal activation of thermal donors in high resistivity magnetic Czochralski silicon. The thermal donor activation has been performed through a thermal treatment at 430 1C up to a total time of 80min. The space charge density after each annealing step has been extracted from capacitance–voltage measurements. If the starting material is boron-doped p-type high-resistivity Czochralski silicon, the thermal donor generation process can be utilized in order to produce p/n /n detectors. The last thermal process step, i.e. the sintering of aluminum, is intentionally carried out at the temperature where thermal donors are created. According to our results, we have improved the previously reported model of the thermal donor generation. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Test beam results of a large area strip detector made on high resistivity Czochralski silicon
We have tested the detection performance of a strip detector processed on silicon wafer grown by magnetic Czochralski (MCZ) method. This is the first time a full size Czochralski detector has been tested in a beam, although the advantages of CZ silicon have been known before. Prior to test beam measurements, the electrical characteristics of the Czochralski silicon detectors were found to be ap...
متن کاملInterstitial oxygen imaging from thermal donor growth—A fast photoluminescence based method
We present a fast method to create interstitial oxygen concentration maps from resistivity calibrated photoluminescence images prior to and after a heat treatment at 450 1C. The method utilizes the influence of thermal donors on the effective doping concentration of a sample. Although the determination of thermal donor concentrations from conductivity measurements is customary in literature, we...
متن کاملCharge collection measurements with p-type Magnetic Czochralski Silicon single pad detectors
The charge collected from beta source particles in single pad detectors produced on p-type Magnetic Czochralski (MCz) silicon wafers has been measured before and after irradiation with 26 MeV protons. After a 1MeV neutron equivalent fluence of 1x10 cm the collected charge is reduced to 77% at bias voltages below 900 V. This result is compared with previous results from charge collection measure...

Modelling of the Czochralski Flow
The Czochralski method of the industrial production of a silicon single crystal consists of pulling up the single crystal from the silicon melt. The flow of the melt during the production is called the Czochralski flow. The mathematical description of the flow consists of a coupled system of six P.D.E. in cylindrical coordinates containing Navier-Stokes equations (with the stream function), hea...
