Carrier Lifetime Degradation and Regeneration in Gallium- and Boron-Doped Monocrystalline Silicon Materials

Michael Winter et al.

Summary: The article observes carrier lifetime degradation phenomena on fired gallium-doped Czochralski-grown silicon (Cz-Si:Ga) and boron-doped float-zone silicon (FZ-Si:B), noting that activation of defects responsible for degradation is triggered by different temperatures and illumination conditions. Despite differing degradation time constants for the two materials, the activation energies are within a narrow range, suggesting a novel defect formation mechanism.
