Samenvatting:
Hydrogen passivation of iron in silicon is investigated by measuringthe recombination-active FeB-concentration with the light-induced FeB-dissociation
technique. Floatzone wafers were intentionally contaminated with iron.
Hydrogen passivation by annealing of the wafers with an SiNx coating
leads to a decrease of the FeB concentration with about a factor 3 (from
1.2x1013 cm-3 to about 4.5x1012 cm-3). Multicrystalline silicon wafers
without an intentional iron contamination show a similar decrease of
the measured iron concentration after annealing with SiNx coating. Based
on these results, we conclude that the FeB defect is passivated by hydrogen
in-diffusion after anneal of SiNx layers.
