Low Temperature Phase Transition (Pt) and Defect Formation (Df) in Silicon with Dioxide Inclusions Under X-Ray Irradiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Studies of galvanomagnetic and electrical parameters of p- type Si : SiO2 in the temperature range 80 – 400 K have shown that X-ray irradiation at 80 K (Mo Ka,β and braking radiation hvmax. = 50 heV) leads to various transformations of the spectrum of electron- hole states in the band gap of such material, depending on the flux density of the X-rays. Two main processes are observed: the defect (vacancy and divacancy) formation and a charge exchange of native defects localized at the Si – SiO2 interface. The charge exchange process is rather collective and stimulated one because it is in response to an X-ray-induced ferroelectric phase transition in the SiO2- phase.
