Abstract:
A porous silicon layer as a getter of uncontrolled impurities has been prepared by implantation of Sb+ into silicon and subsequent thermal treatments. The lifetime of nonequilibrium charge carriers in n- and p-type silicon wafers with a getter layer is 3–4 times longer than that without a getter.
