Title: Mechanisms of transition-metal gettering in silicon

Journal Article · · Journal of Applied Physics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1289273· OSTI ID:753385

The atomic process, kinetics, and equilibrium thermodynamics underlying the gettering of transition-metal impurities in Si are reviewed from a mechanistic perspective. Methods for mathematical modeling of gettering are reviewed and illustrated. Needs for further research are discussed.
