The spurious contribution of oxide precipitates to the infrared absorption of interstitial oxygen in silicon is determined from spectra collected at 7 K for samples with different initial interstitial oxygen O-i concentration subjected to a three-step thermal treatment. These data can be used to correct the residual O-i values determined at room temperature following the standard procedure from the intensity of the 1107 cm(-1) absorption band. The error in residual O-i is found to reach values on the order of 2x10(17) atoms/cm(3) for samples with initial O-i content higher than 6.5x10(17) atoms/cm(3). (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics

Abstract
The spurious contribution of oxide precipitates to the infrared absorption of interstitial oxygen in silicon is determined from spectra collected at 7 K for samples with different initial interstitial oxygen O-i concentration subjected to a three-step thermal treatment. These data can be used to correct the residual O-i values determined at room temperature following the standard procedure from the intensity of the 1107 cm(-1) absorption band. The error in residual O-i is found to reach values on the order of 2x10(17) atoms/cm(3) for samples with initial O-i content higher than 6.5x10(17) atoms/cm(3). (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics
