Abstract

The generation and dissociation processes of Fe-B pairs in Si crystal are investigated by means of the measurements of electron paramagnetic resonance of Si crystals of various B concentrations doped with Fe. Fe-B pairs are generated due to annealing of the crystals at temperatures around 300 K obeying to the first order reaction kinetics. The activation energy for pair generation is determined to be about 0.65 eV which is almost equal to the migration energy of Fe impurity in a Si crystal. Fe-B pairs are found to be dissociated at tempeatures higher than 150°C leading to the precipitation of Fe.
