Abstract

We have observed strong gold gettering by implanted carbon in silicon. It was found that the gettering agents in carbon implanted layers are point defects associated with singular carbon atoms. The positions of the gettered Au atoms were found to be distorted substitutional sites. A pointdefect gettering model is proposed to explain our findings.
