Tunable Processing of Chalcogen-Hyperdoped Silicon

We will present studies on samples of chalcogen-hyperdoped silicon produced using a tunable process, allowing for the systematic variation of sulfur content within silicon. Hyperdoping silicon with sulfur leads to increased absorption in the infrared region, making it of interest for application in solar technology and infrared detection. Future work involves adapting this tunable method to be scalable and cost effective.
