Abstract

High resistivity silicon single crystals for radiation detectors were grown by the floating-zone (FZ) method with and without one-pass zone refining of ultra pure starting material obtained by the decomposition of monosilane gas. In this method, boron is removed from monosilane during gas generation. The main residual impurity is phosphorus from phosphine which is removed with zeolite A after distillation of monosilane. Photoluminescence analysis and an improved 4-point probe resistivity measuring method were used to evaluate the material.
