Negative-U for Point Defects in Silicon,
Abstract
New evidence is presented that the lattice vacancy and interstitial boron in silicon are negative-U systems: (1) the equilibrium charge state for the vacancy in low resistivity p-type material is confirmed to be V++. (2) The metastable donor level for interstitial boron at Ec-0.12 eV is detected in a novel photo-DLTS experiment confirming its negative-U properties. (Author)
