Abstract

The interaction between hydrogen and group-II double acceptors Zn and Be in crystalline silicon is investigated by ab initio modeling. Observables like defect binding energies, local vibrational modes and electrical levels of Zn-H and Be-H are calculated and compared with the available measurements. Energetics indicate that whereas in Zn-H the formation of a strongly buckled Zn-H-Si unit is favored, in Be-H the hydrogen atom prefers to sit near the C-site. We show that the H atom is almost free to hop within the space enclosed between the substitutional impurity and its Si neighbors. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
