Possible Interaction: Boron and Silicon

“For LAPS array fabrication, part of the silicon base was heavily doped with boron to form separate testing areas.”

“The application of Si + SA alleviated the inhibitory effects of boron toxicity in field peas, resulting in greater plant growth by preventing oxidative membrane damage through an increased tolerance to B-excess within the plant tissue.”

“Introducing phosphorus or boron dopants during the silicon epitaxy further decreases the growth rates and, for phosphorus, gives rise to a critical layer thickness for single crystalline epitaxial growth.”

“Each layer has a different Young’s modulus value and each undergoes different volume shrinkage strain owing to boron doping in silicon.”

“In addition, several boronates were found to display very unusual reactivity patterns; the higher reactivity of boron as apposed to silicon was clearly demonstrated as well.”

“Bearing in mind the diagonal relationship between boron and silicon , it is therefore remarkable that no reports exist on the coordination chemistry of methimazolyl chelates based on silicon as the bridgehead atom.”

“A replacement of the bottom tether atom (carbon or silicon ) changed the characteristics (kinetic and thermodynamic factors) of boron complexes by geometric effects.”

“Here we report that superconductivity can be induced when boron is locally introduced into silicon at concentrations above its equilibrium solubility.”

“ Boron is implanted into silicon both as a dopant to form a p–n junction, as well as a means of introducing dislocation loops.”

“The necessity and success of the separation step is demonstrated for the determination of boron as a minor constituent in SiC, where the spectral interferences of silicon on the boron signals are decreased considerably.”
