Notes:
We report the direct measurement of vacancy-like defects related to oxygen in the oxygen precipitation process in Czochralski Si. The vacancy-like defects were detected by measuring the positron lifetime and narrowing of the positron–electron annihilation momentum distribution. Oxygen atoms surrounding the vacancy-like defects were detected by analyzing the high-momentum part of the positron–electron momentum distribution measured by a Doppler broadening coincidence technique. It was found that the majority of the defects associated with oxygen have an effective open volume smaller than that of a silicon monovacancy. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
