Abstract
Mössbauer spectroscopy has been applied to study the Sb-H complex in Si, using the 23.9 keV transition of119Sn populated in the decay of119Sb. Hydrogen was introduced into a well annealed Si crystal, previously implanted with119Sb ions. The relative intensity of the H-associated line reaches 26% at the highest hydrogen dose of 1016 cm−2. The Sb−H complexes dissociate around 440 K. No Sb−H complexes were observed in material that remained p-type after implantation of119Sb. The implications of these measurements for the structure of the Sb−H complex and for the charge states of the diffusing hydrogen are discussed.
