, which allows for completely N-free silicon oxide. In this work, we investigate the properties of B- and P-incorporating Si NCs embedded in pure silicon oxide compared to silicon oxynitride by atom probe tomography (APT), low-temperature photoluminescence (PL), transienttransmission (TT), and current
of P- or B-atoms has severe implications for future applications of conventional impurity doping of Si in sub-10 nm technology nodes.

The conductivity type and free carrier
meaningful APT-analysis cannot be achieved. However, the absence of any significant differences between SRON:P and SRO:P suggests that the nitrogen in the oxynitride matrix will not have a notable influence on the B-distribution when SRON:B and SRO:B are compared.
