Abstract

In an effort to enhance vacancy trapping and detection in laser-annealed Si, float zone Si was implanted with oxygen to achieve concentrations between one and two orders of magnitude greater than the equilibrium saturation limit. Oxygen, which is known to be an effective trap for vacancies, was found to incorporate efficiently into Si regrown with Q-switched laser annealing Interstitial oxygen, oxygen-vacancy defects and divacancies were observed after implantation. The laser-regrown layers, however, were free of detectable vacancy-associated defects.
