Abstract

The nature of extended defects in silicon introduced by hydrogen containing plasmas has been studied by transmission electron microscopy for a variety of technological processes. Depending on the doping level of the substrate, the substrate temperature and the presence/absence of simultaneous energetic ion bombardment, {111} planar defects, gas bubbles, and a heavily damaged near-surface region have been observed.
