Abstract

We have utilized ac conductivity versus frequency measurements to study defect centers in silicon nitride films. A physical model of bipolaron hopping in amorphous silicon nitride was developed which accounted for the spatial correlation in the defect center positions. We observed a decrease in the density of deep centers in the films subjected to degrading treatment and registered the structural rearrangement in the volume of the investigated samples.
