Abstract

Capacitance DLTS measurements have been performed on heavily precipitated n— and p—type silicon wafers. The results indicate heavy metal gettering with a mid-bandgap deep level (0.55eV) for n—type silicon. The results for p—type siliconshow a band of states present in the lower half of the bandgap. This band of states correlates well to the band of allowed energies found in heavily dislocated p—type silicon.
