Abstract

Large grain polycrystalline silicon wafers have been subjected to post-thermal annealing after a POCl3 pre-diffusion or after a phosphorus doped silica-film deposition (1019p/cm3- 2.1021p/cm3). The different doping levels are obtained by a dilution of the P-doped SOG (2.1021 at/cm3) in a undoped SOG solution .For the first time we have achieved the maximum of the gettering efficiency after post-thermal annealing. The best combination of post thermal cycle parameters and doping level improves the minority carrier diffusion length of quite (300% to 400%) for POCl3 pre-diffused samples and (200% to 275%) for spin-on P-doped (P-SOG) polycrystalline silicon.
