Abstract
The impact of residual centers on self-ion implanted and annealed crystalline silicon was studied. The nature of the recombination centers that cause the residual recombination was also discussed. The deep level transient spectroscopy revealed a decrease in the vacancy-related defect concentration in the high-dose samples. The results indicate that silicon interstitials, arising from the slowly dissolving dislocation loops, may be responsible for the increased recombination deep within the samples.
