The properties of nitrogen in silicon

The behaviour of nitrogen in silicon is investigated using the dislocation unlocking technique. Specimens containing well-ordered arrays of dislocations are isothermally annealed for a controlled duration, during which nitrogen segregates to and pins the dislocations. The stress required to unlock t...
