Abstract

Out-diffusion of carbon from silicon wafers during annealing at 900 °C is observed to be enhanced by the in-diffusion of phosphorus as compared to annealing in a nitrogen ambient. This diffusion enhancement is suggested to be due to phosphorus-induced silicon self-interstitials and an appreciable diffusion component of carbon in silicon involving self-interstitials.
