Abstract

We have studied the local motion of hydrogen in the neighborhood of carbon and platinum impurities by observing the stress-induced reorientation and subsequent recovery of two H-related (H-C and Pt-H2) complexes in Si, using deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) under uniaxial compressive stress. We notice two interesting differences in hydrogen motion around carbon and platinum atoms. The first one is a difference in the temperature where stress-induced reorientation occurs. That of the H-C complex occurs at high temperatures above 250 K, while it occurs at low temperatures around 80 K for the Pt-H2 complex. The second difference is the effect of charge state of the complexes on their stress-induced reorientation and subsequent recovery. It occurs preferentially when an electron occupies the level of the H-C complex, but the Pt- H2 complex has the reverse effect of level occupancy. These differences are discussed from viewpoint of different atomic configurations and electronic states of two H-related complexes.
