We report on three cobalt-hydrogen related deep levels H(50): E V + 0.09 eV, H(90): E V + 0.17 eV and H(150): E V + 0.22 eV. The levels are formed by wet chemical etching or remote hydrogen plasma treatment and successive annealing at 400 K in cobalt-doped float-zone p-type silicon. The level H(150) is bistable and exhibits a fully reversible transition between an electrically active and an electrically neutral configuration after zero-bias or reverse-bias annealing at temperatures between 310 K and 400 K. We tentatively assign H(90) and H(150) to a CoH complex and H(50) to a CoH 2 complex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
