Systematic Investigation of Gettering Effects on 4th Row Element Impurities in Si by Dopant Atoms

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2009
The gettering of 4th row element impurities (K, Ca, 3d transition metals, and Zn) in Si crystals by dopant atoms was systematically investigated by first-principles calculation through evaluation of the diffusion barrier and the binding energy.

Boosting Charge Carrier Mobilities in Upgraded Metallurgical Grade Silicon by Phosphorous Diffusion Gettering

open access: yesAdvanced Energy & Sustainability Research, 2022
Herein, it is demonstrated how the carrier mobility and carrier lifetime of upgraded‐metallurgical grade silicon (UMG‐Si), a feedstock alternative to electronic‐grade, high‐purity polysilicon dominating photovoltaic technology, can be largely improved ...

High Temperature Reverse Bias (HTRB) & Temperature Humidity Bias (THB) Reliability Failure Mechanisms and Improvements in Trench Power MOSFET and IGBT

open access: yesIEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society, 2021
High Temperature Reverse Bias (HTRB) reliability failure is found to be caused by huge amount of undesirable hydrogen proton (H+) ions from packaging resin or external environment, while Temperature Humidity Bias (THB) reliability failure is known

Understanding the Mechanism of Electronic Defect Suppression Enabled by Nonidealities in Atomic Layer Deposition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Silicon germanium (SiGe) is a multifunctional material considered for quantum computing, neuromorphic devices, and CMOS transistors. However, implementation of SiGe in nanoscale electronic devices necessitates suppression of surface states dominating the

Cu gettering by phosphorus-doped emitters in p-type silicon: Effect on light-induced degradation

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
The presence of copper (Cu) contamination is known to cause relevant light-induced degradation (Cu-LID) effects in p-type silicon. Due to its high diffusivity, Cu is generally regarded as a relatively benign impurity, which can be readily relocated ...

Copper Nanocrystallization in Anodic Oxide Films of Ti–Cu‐Based Bulk Metallic Glass and Its Effect on the Corrosion Resistance and Cytocompatibility

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Viktoriia Shtefan, Thorgund Nemec, Ute Hempel, Annett Gebert and coworkers demonstrate that anodic treatment of Ti–Cu‐based metallic glass in a nontoxic pyrophosphate electrolyte forms a protective bilayered Ti/Zr‐oxide film enriched with Cu nanocrystals.

Titanium-nitrogen reaction investigated for application to gettering systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1968
Titanium is one of several gettering materials available for removing nitrogen from inert gases. The reaction rate of titanium-metal sponge and nitrogen in argon-nitrogen mixtures was studied at 900 degrees C.

Tuning Amorphous‐Crystalline Catalytic Interfaces by Mechanochemistry: Cu‐Based Metallic Glasses Coupled with Ceria for CO Oxidation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ball‐milling Cu‐based metallic glasses with ceria creates a unique nanostructure where metallic glass particles are wrapped by CeO2 nanoparticles. The intimate integration triggers copper state reorganization during reaction and aging, boosting CO oxidation and COPrOx activity.

Impurity-to-efficiency simulator: Predictive simulation of solar cell efficiencies based on measured metal distribution and cell processing conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a fast and simple 1D simulation tool to predict solar cell performance as a function of the initial iron content and distribution in the as-grown silicon wafer, the time-temperature profiles applied during the fabrication process, and several ...
