Abstract

Thickness dependent Pendellösung oscillations are highly sensitive to strain fields from defects in a host crystal. Based on this, we present a novel technique to measure the precipitation kinetics of oxygen in silicon already at its early stage of clustering at high temperatures. At 900 °C, precipitates with a radius smaller than 4 nm and with a density of 1 ± 0.5 × 10 1/cm were observed. The technique was calibrated by complementary scanning transmission electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray measurements in the range of normal diffusivity yielding a diffusion constant of 1.7 ± 0.1 × 10 - 12 cm / s, which is close to the literature value of 2.074 × 10 - 12 cm / s. The measurements have been made with the characteristic K-line of a high voltage tungsten X-ray tube at 59.31 keV, which provides the opportunity to illuminate through complex sample environments like high temperature scattering furnaces. © 2013 American Institute of Physics.
