We used two approximations: the modified Tran-Blaha Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) exchange potential and the Tran and Blaha generalized gradient approach (TB-GGA) by the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. These approximations are implemented in the Wien2k code. The results demonstrate that silicon doping dramatically modifies and enhances t-graphene's band gap and electrical conductivity. The band gap widens when silicon concentration rises, enhancing silicon's potential application in photocatalytic applications. More precisely, by increasing the band gap, a higher silicon concentration increases the range of applications for silicon in photocatalytic. The conduction band minimum (CBM) of Si-doped t-graphene reduces by 0.29 eV, 0.58 eV, and 1.01 eV at 37.5 %, 25 %, and 12.5 % doping levels, respectively, in comparison to 50 % Si-doped t-graphene.

However, its failure mechanism and reliability evaluation issues remain inadequately addressed. The thermal mismatch at the TSV microstructure interfaces generates substantial thermal stresses under thermal cycling loads, leading to pump and shrinkage deformation in the filled copper and adversely impacting the structural reliability and performance. This study presents a cross-scale analysis method that integrates the principles of crystal plasticity (CP) with the finite element method (FEM) while taking thermal expansion effects into account. Utilizing this method, the pump and shrinkage phenomena of seven common textures of TSV electroplated copper (TSV-Cu) crystals under thermal cycling load were compared, and the distribution of equivalent stress, elastic strain, and plastic strain were analyzed. Subsequently, the effects of TSV-Cu grain number, topological morphology, random orientation, orientation dispersion, grain size, and orientation mismatch at the top of TSV on deformation were investigated. Furthermore, the residual stress and deformation associated with TSV pumping and shrinking under thermal cycling were analyzed. The conclusions drawn from the cross-scale analysis method proposed in this study are consistent with the experimental observations and analyses reported in the relevant literature, thereby validating the method's accuracy. The research findings indicate that when the copper filler exhibits a Cube texture, the stress, strain, and deformation are relatively minimal. In the absence of a preferred orientation in the copper filler, the dispersion of copper expansion and contraction deformation is dependent on the grain size, and the deformation follows a Weibull competitive distribution. The topological morphology of the grains induces non-uniform deformation in the structure, resulting in localized and annular deformation patterns. The grain size and orientation mismatch at the top of the TSV-Cu significantly influence the pump and shrinkage deformation of copper under thermal cycling conditions. Finally, the study concludes with recommendations for structural process optimization. By linking grain microstructure evolution to macroscopic boundaries and loads through the cross-scale analysis method, this research provides insights into the microscopic-scale pump and shrinkage phenomena of TSV-filled copper under thermal cycling, offering valuable references for TSV structural design, process optimization, failure analysis, and life assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18240,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 109430"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These oxygen precipitates have a significant impact on the electrical properties and yield of silicon wafers. The purpose of the current work is to investigate the heterogeneous nucleation process of oxygen precipitates through VO<sub>x</sub> (x = 1,2) complexes during the crystal growth. In the current work, a combined approach of numerical simulation and experimentation was adopted for in-depth exploration of the effects of stress, phosphorus-doped concentration, and interstitial oxygen concentration on VO<sub>x</sub> (x = 1, 2) complexes. Moreover, the temperature characteristics and distribution patterns of VO<sub>x</sub> complexes during the growth process of single crystal silicon were also thoroughly analyzed. The result indicates that the concentration of VO<sub>x</sub> complexes is higher at the center and lower part of the edge in the radial direction. Stress can significantly increase the concentration of VO<sub>x</sub> complexes. When the phosphorus-doped concentration and interstitial oxygen concentration were both gradually elevated from 10<sup>16</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup> to 10<sup>19</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup>, the concentration of VO<sub>x</sub> complexes tended to increase accordingly, and the upward trend was particularly notable when the concentration reaches 10<sup>19</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup>. Except for the doping concentration of 10<sup>19</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup>, the doping concentration of phosphorus has a greater effect on the VO<sub>x</sub> complexes than that of oxygen. These research findings hold significant guiding significance for understanding and precisely controlling the internal gettering ability of oxygen precipitates, laying foundation for the growth of high-quality single crystal silicon.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18240,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 109419"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
