The interaction between hydrogen and platinum is studied in n-and p-type silicon using deep-level transient spectroscopy. Hydrogen is introduced by wet-chemical etching or during crystal growth. In both cases we find that hydrogen forms only electrically active complexes with platinum. Four platinum-hydrogen related deep levels are identified: E (90) at E C-0.18 eV, E (250) at E C-0.50 eV, H (150) at E V+ 0.30 eV, and H (210) at E V+ 0.40 eV. These levels belong to at least three different platinum-hydrogen complexes. Level E (250) is identical to the so-called midgap level in Pt-doped Si, which is believed to control the minority-carrier lifetime in Pt-doped silicon. Level H (150) is an acceptor and is present both in n-and p-type samples after hydrogenation. It belongs to a platinum-hydrogen complex which contains more hydrogen atoms than the complexes responsible for the other hydrogen-related levels. Annealing at temperatures above 600 K results in a complete dissociation of all the platinum-hydrogen related defects and the substitutional platinum concentration is fully restored.
