Previous work on thermally induced arsenic deactivation in highly doped silicon has proven the generation bf vacancies and suggests the formation of arsenic-vacancy clusters as the deactivation mechanism. Using positron annihilation spectroscopy in the two-detector coincidence geometry, we are able to show that the thermally generated vacancies are indeed surrounded by arsenic atoms.
