Boron Neutralization by Hydrogen Ion Implantation in Silicon

  • Conference paper
Seventh E.C. Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference

Abstract

Boron doped silicon submitted to low energy hydrogen implantation performed at low current density (35 µA/cm2) in the temperature range 80 – 140°C shows a large decrease of the active doping concentration over a depth which increases with the temperature and the starting material resistivity. Annealing of as-implanted samples evidences that a significant reactivation of the dopant occurs above 100°C.
