Exceptional gettering response of epitaxially grown kerfless silicon

The bulk minority-carrier lifetime in p-And n-type kerfless epitaxial (epi) crystalline silicon wafers is shown to increase >500× during phosphorus gettering. We employ kinetic defect simulations and microstructural characterization techniques to elucidate the root cause of this exceptional gette...
