Vacuum-evaporated iron caused a severe degradation in minority carrier lifetime irrespective of the cleans used indi-cating lifetime degradation is related to initial iron concentration, not merely to final iron concentration after cleaning. It was found to take at least three separate steps (within the RCA-based cleans) to effectively remove iron from hydro-fluoric acid solution-last surfaces. It also was found that precipitates caused by iron contamination were formed under-neath thermally grown silicon oxide at 92 0°C. The defects are believed to be iron suicides formed during the oxidation of iron-contaminated silicon
