Abstract

Introduction of oxygen during thermal oxidation and production of defects by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in n-type epitaxial Si layers were studied with deep-level transient spectroscopy measurements. We use oxygen-related thermal donors (TDs) as a monitor for introduction of oxygen in silicon epitaxial layers. It is found that oxygen is introduced from the substrate into the epitaxial layer after thermal annealing. The TD was almost annihilated by RTA at .700°C. However, a shallow trap (Ec−0.073±0.005 eV) was induced by RTA.
