Abstract

A model is proposed to describe hydrogen motion in silicon near 150°C. This model leads to a consistent view of H° behaviour in low doped n and p-type Si, with a diffusivity in agreement with the high temperature data. On the other hand, a systematic variation of DH+ with the boron concentration forces us to conclude that some still unknown interactions take place and contribute to hydrogen trapping in highly doped p-Si.
