Abstract

Channeling and lattice location has been used to investigate the structure of the boron-hydrogen complex in crystalline silicon. The positions of both the boron and hydrogen atoms have been determined. The results are compared with Monte-Carlo simulations. The boron atom in the B-H pair is found to be displaced from a substitutional site by 0.28±0.03Å, while the hydrogen atom is predominantly at a bond-center site, with a small proportion in a back-bonded position.
