Nitrogen in silicon: Transport and mechanical properties

A novel dislocation locking technique is applied to nitrogen-doped float-zone silicon. Specimens containing well-defined arrays of dislocation half-loops are subjected to isothermal anneals of controlled duration, during which nitrogen diffuses to the dislocations. The stress required to bring about...
