Research Abstract

We proposed characterization of micro-defects at semiconductor interfaces with FT-Raman and infrared monochrometes. We measured photoluminescence spectra using a FT-Raman monochrometer and oxygen contents based on infrared absorption. Photoluminescence spectra could be obtained with a high sensitivity in our method.
At first, we characterized micro-defects in CZ silicon before forming hetero-interfaces. Following results were obtained.
1) A photoluminescence peak was observed at 0.85eV after annealings at 500゚C and 650゚C.An origin of the peak is related to oxygen precipitates which grow over the critical size by annealing at a temperature higher than 110゚C.
2) Oxygen precipitates with a variety of sizes are formed by annealing at 500゚C while oxyzen precipitates with a large size are formed by annealing at 1280゚C.
3) Oxyzen precipitates with a large size formed by annealings at 500 and 650゚C are more stable than those formed by annealing at 1280 and 650゚C.On the other hand, oxygen precipitates with a small size formed by annealings at 500 and 650゚C are more unstable than those formed by annealing at 1280 and 650゚C.
The normalized intensity of the peak due to the ozygen precipitates in the photoluminescence spectra is related to the amount of precipitated oxygen.
Following to the characterization discussed avobe, we formed a hetero-interface by despositing a film of silicon nitride on the surface of CZ silicon. Stress in silicon near the hetero-interface was characterized by Raman spectroscopy and micro-defects were characterized as described above. As a result, compressive stress was acumulated in the silicon near the hetero-interface and a density of the micro-defects was smaller than those in silicon without stress.
