Abstract: The analysis of the donor-acceptor pair luminescence of P-Al and N-Al pairs obtained recently for the cubic 3C polytype of SiC is viewed in some detail. A detailed consideration is given to the fitting procedure applied to the P-Al and N-Al spectra. Fit with theoretical models of spectra of type I and type II are applied to both N-Al and P-Al experimental spectra, and it is demonstrated that only contribution from P on Si site is observable in the presented samples. The accuracy of the obtained phosphorus ionization energy of 48.1 meV is also discussed.

Abstract: The paper presents experimental data on the temperature dependence and the excitation properties of the phosphorus-related photoluminescence in 4H SiC. Two main sets of phonon replicas can be observed with selective excitation, which are attributed to two of the no-phonon lines observed in the spectrum. Some of the excited states are also attributed to one of the no-phonon lines on the ground of the selectively excited spectra. A tentative explanation of the observed features in terms of multiple bound excitons is proposed.
