Activation Analysis of Trace Impurities in Germanium Using Scintillation Spectrometry GEORGE H. MORRISON and JAMES F. COSGROVE Chemistry Laboratory, Sylvania Electric Products, Inc., flushing,

A method has been developed, based on the use of neutron activation analysis, for the quantitative determination of trace impurities in germanium. Gamma scintillation spectrometry has been employed to identify and measure the amounts of the various impurities present. The method employs a minimum of chemical separation. A sensitivity of 0.001 to 1 y is attained for most elements using this technique.

THF.

, e ectrical properties of semiconductors, and the characteristics of devices in which they are used, are profoundly influenced by the presence of trace impurity atoms. I n the case of germanium used in transistors, the concentrations of impurities are so minute that previously available methods of detection have proved ineffective. Seutron activation analysis in conjunction with gamma scintillation spectrometry has been applied successfully t o the analysis of trace impurities in silicon (e), and the present study concerns the development of a similar method for the analysis of trace impurities in germanium and some of its compounds. While methods using activation analysis have been developed in the past for the determination of traces of arsenic ( 4 ) and copper (6) in germanium, the present study takes advantage of the resolution

of the gamma scintillation spectrometer, which permits the identification and measurement of many impurities in the same analysis with a minimum of chemical separation. The method possesses a sensitivity of 0.001 to l y for the majority of the elements. NUCLE4R REACTIOYS

When a sample is irradiated with thermal neutrons in a pile, many elements undergo an ( n , y ) reaction n-ith the formation of the corresponding radioisotopes. The amount of the radioisotope produced is proportional to the flux of neutrons involved, the reaction cross section, the neight of the element being investigated, and the duration of the irradiation. It is possible for other nuclear reactions such as (n,p)and (n,.) to occur in the case of a few elements, but it is accepted that the ( n , y ) reaction will predominate when a sample is irradiated in a pile. When germanium is irradiated, the ( n , ~reactions ) summarized in Table I occur. Three radioisotopes of germanium-germanium$1, germanium-75, and germanium-ii-are formed, as well as radioactive arsenic-77-a product of the decay of germanium-ii. Similarly, radioisotopes are formed from impurities present in the sample. hlany of the nuclides formed from the impurities are gamma emitters. Consequently, gamma scintillation spectrometry is used t o identify these impurities; it is based on the characteristic energies of the gamma photonsof the respectivenuclides.

nium sample, which necessitates calculating the amount produced ( 3 , 4)and subtracting this from the total arsenic-76 measured in the sample. The residue containing the nonvolatile impurities was analyzed with the spectrometer; q~iantitativemeasurement of the respective impurities was accomplished by comparing the photopeaks with those obtained from the corresponding comparative standards. Because galliuni-i2 is formed by a secondary reaction during irradiation of germanium, the amount produced in this manner was calculated and subtracted from the total gallium-i2 measured in the sample (3). It should be noted that with different conditions of time of irradiation and neutron flus, varying amounts of gallium and arsenic will result. Thus, it may be possible with the proper choice of conditions to minimize the effects of these reactions (4). The conditions of irradiation employed in this method, however, were chosen t o activate as many trace impurities as possible in the same irradiation with consequent sacrifice of optimum conditions for minimizing these side reactions. R E S U L T S .4ND DISCUSSION

Only those elements which result in radionuclides having hall lives greater than approximately 4 hours and less than 200 days could easily be determined by this method. This interval was chosen as most convenient because measurement of the activity in the samples started approximately 8 hours after removal from the pile. Radionuclides with half lives much shorter than 4 hours could not be detected conveniently in this laboratory when present in trace amounts, whereas nuclides with half lives much greater than 200 days would be insufficiently activated for measurement under the conditions of the irradiation employrcl.

Accuracy and Precision. The results of the analysis of the standard germanium samples are shown in Table 111. The germanium used in the preparation of these samples had previously been analyzed and found to contain 3.1 X 10-6 gram of arsenic per grain of germanium. Consequently, the arsenic content of these samples is the sum of the arsenic originally present plus the known amounts added. The arsenic and gallium values obtained in the analyses have been corrected for the amounts of these elements produced in the Pecondary nuclear reactions during irradiation.

There are, of course, exceptions to this general classification, depending upon the nuclear properties of certain impurity elements. Thus, if the corresponding stable isotopes of these impurity elements possess optimum cross sections and abundances, the activity produced by irradiation may he sufficiently high for detection beyond the limits of the half lives mentioned. Also, if the impurities are present in larger amounts, greater activity will result. This method was designed to determine as many elements as possible with a single irradiation of a relatively pure sample of germanium; those elements which can conveniently be determined in trace amounts are shown in Figure 1. The results of the analysis of several samples of germanium, germanium dioxide, and germanium tetrachloride are given in Table 11. The arsenic values have been corrected for the amount of arsenic formed by the germanium during irradiation. Gallium was detected in all of the samples; however, the amount was equal t o that which was calculated to be formed by the

Although the precision of the method is good, never exceeding an estimated standard deviation of 13% for triplicate analyses of the respective elements, the accuracy of the determinations appears t o be low b y as much as 30% in some cases. It has previously been shown that an accuracy and precision of about 1% ' can be obtained in the activation analysis of trace impurities in silicon and aluminum, where scintillation spectrometry is performed directly on the irradiated sample without any chemical

manipulation involved ( 2 ) . The major part of the error in the present method, therefore, can be attributed t o chemical loss during the separation procedure required before the ganimn spectrometric analysis could be performed. The low values obtained in the determinations may be explained by the fact that it \vas impossible t o remove all of the activity from the distilling flasks, even though quantitative washing technique!: were employed. In every instance some of the activity from the residue adhered to the walls of the flask. These determinations were performed on samples containing impurities in the range of 10-6 to 10-'gram and involved chemical sepnratione. I n view of these conditions, the method exhibits good accuracy and precision.
