Abstract
The relationship between gallium (Ga) concentration and resistivity was studied in Ga-doped Czochralski (CZ) silicon (Si) single crystals in the dopant concentration range from 1×1014 to 2×1018 atoms/cm3 by the four-point probe method, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and Hall-effect measurement. The resistivity of Ga-doped Si was found to be larger than that of B-doped Si, because Ga is not fully ionized at Ga concentrations higher than 1016 atoms/cm3 at 300 K. A conversion curve from resistivity to Ga concentration in the range from 1×1014 to 1×1017 atoms/cm3 is proposed.
