The quantitative characterization of complex microdefect structures in silicon crystals grown by Czochralski method and irradiated with various doses of high-energy electrons (18 MeV) has been performed by methods of the highresolution X-ray diffraction. The concentrations and average sizes of dislocation loops and oxygen precipitates have been determined by using the combined treatment of reciprocal space maps and rocking curves based on the analytical formulas of the statistical dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction by imperfect crystals with randomly distributed microdefects of several types.
Methods of two-and three-crystal X-ray high-resolution diffractometry were used to investigate structural changes in Сz-Si single crystals irradiated with high-energy electrons (Е=18 МeV). The results of experimental investigation were interpreted by means of a generalized dynamic theory of X-ray diffraction in real crystals with randomly distributed microdefects of various types and a damaged surface layer. As dominant defects, disc-shaped and spherical clusters -SiO 2 precipitates, as well as dislocation loops were used.
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.
