Abstract

Infrared spectroscopy has been used to study hydrogen passivation of P, As, and Sb donors in Si. The spectra show several new absorption bands due to donor-H complexes. By comparing spectra after different heat treatments it is shown directly that the passivation is due to complex formation.
