Abstract

Czochralski growth of Si crystals heavily doped with In impurity and co-doped with electrically neutral impurity C or Ge was conducted in order to investigate the solubility and ionization ratio of In in Si for utilizing in advanced ULSI and PV devices. The carrier concentrations in the grown In-doped and (In+C) and (In+Ge) co-doped crystals were in a range of 3.5∼6.5 ×1016 cm-3, much lower than the total concentration of In impurity due to the low ionization ratio. Sufficient increase of carrier concentrations by co-doping of C or Ge impurity was not detected for their low concentrations in the grown crystals investigated.
