Abstract

We have observed that hydrogen implantation in p-type boron-doped silicon material induces a neutralization of boron in a 10 μm deep region after the Schottky diodes have been heated at a 90° C temperature under reverse-biasing. The profile of neutralized acceptors can be reversibly shaped by successively applying different reverse biases.
