Hydrogen interactions with imperfections in crystalline metals and semiconductors are
reviewed. Emphasis is given to mechanistic experiments and theoretical advances …

Hydrogen is a common impurity in all semiconductors. Although it is sometimes deliberately
introduced, hydrogen often penetrates into the crystal during device processing. It interacts …

Hydrogen is, in principle, the simplest impurity in semiconductor materials. It is a common
constituent of many chemicals and gases used in the growth and processing of …

Properties of thin films depend strongly upon the deposition technique and conditions
chosen. In order to achieve the desired film, optimum deposition conditions have to be found …

The understanding and development of advanced hydrogenation processes for silicon solar
cells are presented. Hydrogen passivation is incorporated into virtually all silicon solar cells …

Through an advanced hydrogenation process that involves controlling and manipulating the
hydrogen charge state, substantial increases in the bulk minority carrier lifetime are …

Experiments using laser cooled atoms and ions show real promise for practical applications
in quantum-enhanced metrology, timing, navigation, and sensing as well as exotic roles in …

The nature of hydrogen bonding and diffusion in crystalline Si was investigated using an ab
initio self-consistent pseudopotential method. The relative energies of interstitial atomic …

Several deuteration experiments on crystalline silicon have been performed for various
shallow dopant impurities (B and Al for p-type silicon; P and As for n-type silicon) and for …

We report on hydrogen passivation of boron-oxygen defects through manipulation of the
hydrogen charge states within the silicon. Standard hydrogenation processes which do not …
