Hydrogen incorporated into the samples by wet chemical etching interacts with platinum and forms several energy levels in the silicon forbidden band gap. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) on Schottky diodes reveals several platinum-hydrogen related levels inp- andn-type silicon. In then-type silicon, two new platinum-hydrogen related levels at 0.28 and 0.41 eV below the conduction band are reported. Annealing at 377 °C results in the dissociation of their corresponding platinum-hydrogen complexes.
