The influence of in-diffusing atomic H into an annealed multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafer on the concentration of interstitial iron [Fei] was investigated. Neighboring wafers with similar initial [Fei] were annealed with and without in-diffusing H. In-diffusion was realized by exposing the samples to a microwave induced remote hydrogen plasma at 400 °C. [Fei] was detected based on lifetime measurements before and after dissociating the FeB complex. Surface passivation was achieved by a quinhydrone-methanol solution at room temperature to avoid further temperature steps or in-diffusion of H during surface passivation. From [Fei] measurements before and after the annealing steps with and without H, the influence of H alone on [Fei] could be accessed. The results were compared to previous experiments where the same SiNx:H layers were used as surface passivation for multiple [Fei] measurements of mc-Si samples before and after several anneals at 400 °C. It could be shown that a H plasma atmosphere has a ...
