Abstract

AbstractTransition-metal-hydrogen complexes have been introduced into bulk Si samples that contained Pt, Au, or Rh by the indiffusion of hydrogen at 1250°C from H2 gas. The structure and electrical properties of a PtH2 complex in Si have been studied by vibrational spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The PtH2 complex has been found to introduce two levels in the Si bandgap. There is one paramagnetic charge state for which EPR provides detailed structural information and two nonparamagnetic charge states. The hydrogen vibrations of all three charge states of PtH2 have been assigned. In addition to the PtH2 complex, the hydrogen vibrations of several additional complexes in Si samples that contain hydrogen and Pt, Au, or Rh have been identified.
