Papers by Keyword: Double Donors

Abstract: Silicon crystals, doped with moderate concentration of magnesium or lithium, have been grown for application as optically pumped donor silicon lasers for the terahertz spectral region. The pedestal growth technique accompanied with axial-loaded dopant pills enabled manufacturing of large silicon crystals with a homogeneous donor distribution in the range from 1014 to 1016 cm-3, as required for intracenter silicon lasers. Terahertz-range photoluminescence from the grown crystals has been observed.

Abstract: Selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) ions are implanted into n-type 6H-, 4H- and 3C-SiC epilayers. Double-correlated deep level transient spectroscopy investigations reveal that both Se and Te atoms form double donors in SiC. The number of double donors observed corresponds to the number of inequivalent lattice sites of the particular SiC polytype. This observation is a strong hint that Se and Te atoms reside on lattice sites. The activation energies FEa of Te double donors are larger than the corresponding ones of Se double donors.
