Abstract

The aggregation of instrinsic point defects (vacancies and Si interstitials) in monocrystalline silicon has a major impact on the functioning of electronic devices. While agglomeration of vacancies results in the formation of tiny holes (so-called voids, around 100 nm in size, which have almost no stress field), the aggregation of Si interstitials exerts considerable stress on the Si matrix, which, beyond a critical size, generates a network of dislocation loops around the original defect. These dislocation loops are typically microns in size. Consequently, they are much more harmful to device functioning than vacancy clusters. However, the feature size in electronic devices has now shrunk below the 100 nm scale, meaning that vacancy aggregates are also no longer acceptable to many device manufacturers.

This chapter is intended to give an introduction to the properties of intrinsic point defects in silicon and the nucleation and growth of their aggregates. Knowledge in this field has grown further over the last decade. It is now possible to accurately simulate the aggregation process so that the defect behavior of semiconductor silicon can be precisely tailored to the needs of the device manufacturer. Additionally, the impact of various impurities on the aggregation process is elucidated.
