A simple model for gettering of gold by phosphorus at low concentration is proposed. This model assumes that gold is dissolved in single vacancies for intrinsic silicon, and in vacancies paired with phosphorus atoms for doped silicon. Low concentration gettering is directly compatible with MOS technology and allows leakage current in diodes to be reduced of about three orders of magnitude.
