Abstract
The vibrational lifetimes of various hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) related point defects in bulk silicon (Si) and its relationship with the reliability of Si metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) were analyzed. The low-temperature lifetime of H at the bond-center site in crystalline Si was of the order of 10 ps. It was found that the lifetimes of interstitial-type defects were short. The strong dependence of lifetime on atomic structure of the defects show that the pseudo-localized modes were involved in the vibrational relaxation of Si-H bonds of the point defects in solids.
