Hydrogen, and Semiconductor Surfaces and Surface Layers

  • Chapter
Hydrogen in Crystalline Semiconductors

Abstract

In this chapter we will concentrate on the effects of hydrogen ion bombardment on the near-surface region of semiconductors. A related area is the termination of surface bonds by atomic hydrogen. It is immediately clear from a consideration of the various processing steps involved in fabricating even a simple semiconductor device or circuit that there are many opportunities for atomic hydrogen to interact with the semiconductor.
