Abstract

We report the first observation of ²⁹Si hyperfine spectra of the deep trapping center which dominates the electronic properties of silicon nitride films. Our results provide the first conclusive evidence that the center is a silicon "dangling bond" defect. Our results also demonstrate that the unpaired electron is highly localized (about 75%) on the central silicon and that the wave function is primarily p type.
