Description

An EPR spectrum, labeled Si-G29, is identified as a lattice vacancy trapped by substitutional tin. The resulting tin-vacancy pair is observed in its neutral ground state with S = 1. Results of studies on wavelength of illumination indicate that it has a donor level at approximately E/sub v/ + 0.35 eV. Analysis of the EPR spectrum leads to a model in which the tin atom resides in a position halfway between two normal silicon atom sites (D/sub 3d/). It is stable to approximately 5000K
