Evidence for vacancy trapping in Au-hyperdoped Si following pulsed laser melting

Nanosecond pulsed laser melting can be used to rapidly recrystallize ion-implanted Si through liquid phase epitaxy. The rapid resolidification that follows the melting results in a supersaturation of impurities and hyperdopes the Si, inducing novel optoelectronic properties with a wide range of appl...
