Proximity Gettering Design of Hydrocarbon–Molecular–Ion–Implanted Silicon Wafers Using Dark Current Spectroscopy for CMOS Image Sensors [PDF]
We developed silicon epitaxial wafers with high gettering capability by using hydrocarbon−molecular−ion implantation. These wafers also have the effect of hydrogen passivation on process-induced defects and a barrier to out-diffusion of ...
