This article reviews the progress made in the studies of copper in silicon over the last
several years and puts forward a comprehensive model of the behavior of copper in silicon …

Surface voltage and surface photovoltage measurements have become important
semiconductor characterization tools, largely because of the availability of commercial …

The theoretical concepts, experimental tools, and applications of surface photovoltage (SPV)
techniques are reviewed in detail. The theoretical discussion is divided into two sections …

Carrier lifetimes in semiconductors are being rediscovered by the Si IC community, because
the lifetime is a very effective parameter to characterize the purity of a material or device. It …

This article continues the review of fundamental physical properties of iron and its
complexes in silicon (Appl. Phys. A 69, 13 (1999)), and is focused on ongoing applied …

This article combines an extensive literature review of new experimental data on properties
of Cu, Ni and Co and their precipitates in silicon with a discussion of experimental data …

Silicon, as a single-crystal semiconductor, has brought about a great revolution in the field of
electronics and has touched almost all fields of science and technology. Though available …

Germanium (Ge), with its higher hole and electron mobility than silicon, is a promising
candidate to replace silicon for future complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) …

The carrier recombination activity of copper in n-type and p-type silicon has been
investigated. The minority carrier diffusion length has been found to decrease monotonically …

Integrating commercialized Si solar cells with eco-friendly and earth-abundant Cu 2 ZnSnS
4 (CZTS) film is a promising method to increase power conversion efficiency and hence …
