Abstract
Systematic measurements aimed at quantifying the contribution of precipitates to the infrared absorption of silicon are presented here, carried out on wafers with the same initial interstitial oxygen (O-i) concentration subjected to three-step treatments. To precisely determine the intensity of the precipitate-related bands, the measurements were performed at liquid He temperature. The results demonstrate the possibility of accounting for the contribution of precipitates in the standard quantitative determination of O-i in silicon at room temperatureI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
