Abstract

A Si wafer is contaminated with 1.5 × 1013 Fe/cm3 and the Fe gettering ability of low dose I/I defects is compared with that of a Si substrate with/without a poly-silicon back seal. Polysilicon has higher gettering ability than I/I defects and prevents Fe from gettering at these defects. When there is no poly-silicon and temperature is as low as 700°C, however, I/I defects act as gettering sites for Fe, even if the dose is as low as 2 × 1013 cm−2. Fe gettering by I/I defects leads to a decrease in minority carrier diffusion length. DLTS measurement reveals that Fe getters at I/I defects in the interstitial atom state.
