Abstract
Hydrogen-induced platelet generation in single-crystal silicon was investigated as a function of the Fermi energy. Platelet formation is observed only for Fermi-level positions of With decreasing the platelet density increases monotonically to Experiments performed on electrically compensated silicon demonstrate that the formation of hydrogen-induced platelets is solely controlled by the Fermi energy.
