Abstract

The paper examines the influence of microdefects, as well as oxygen and carbon impurities in the silicon substrate, on the breakdown voltage of an uncontrolled n++–p+ junction. The mechanism of oxygen impurity impact on the type of breakdown is briefly discussed. Practical applications of the results in VLSI manufacturing technology are considered.
