Оптические сечения поглощения и силы осцилляторов двойного донора магния в кремнии

Abstract

\n The optical properties of magnesium impurity in silicon, whose atoms at interstitial positions in the lattice are deep double donors with an ionization energy of 107.56 meV in the neutral state, were studied. For optical transitions from the ground state of a neutral center to the excited levels 2p0 and 2p\uf0b1, the absorption cross sections and oscillator strengths were determined. These parameters were calculated from the impurity absorption spectra that were measured at T \uf0bb K in samples with different magnesium concentrations. The deep donor content in the samples was determined using Hall effect measurements in the temperature range 78–300 K. The obtained characteristics of intracenter transitions in magnesium were compared with the corresponding literature data for shallow Group V donors in silicon, which are substitutional impurities. It was found that the optical characteristics of the investigated transitions in magnesium are consistent with the dependences of the corresponding parameters on the ionization energy for shallow donors, extrapolated to the region of larger electron binding energies.\n
