AbstractFormation of native defects in GaAs is described in terms of the amphoteric native defect model. It is shown that Fermi energy induced formation of gallium vacancies is responsible for the limitations of maximum free electron concentration in GaAs. The effect of the defects on electron mobility in heavily doped n-GaAs is quantitatively evaluated. Defect scattering explains the abrupt reduction of electron mobility at high doping levels. Also, it is demonstrated that native defects are responsible for the mobility reduction in inverted modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. The amphoteric defect model also explains a distinct asymmetry in defect formation in n- and p-GaAs. In p-GaAs the Fermi level induced reduction of the defect formation energy is much smaller, and therefore the concentration of the native defects is negligible compared with the hole concentration.

To determine the electrically inactive fraction of As or P in heavily doped as-grown Czochralski Si 4-point resistivity and SIMS measurements were carried out. No clear trend for the electrical inactive fraction was found with an increasing dopant concentration, though a mean electrical inactive fraction of 11.5% for As doping could be determined.Experimental results on a dopant-vacancy complex in as-grown Si are scarce, hence temperature-dependent positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) was carried out on several heavily As and P doped as-grown Si samples. The measured average positron annihilation lifetime τav is between 218 ps and 220 ps. No temperature dependent effect on τav could be observed. Therefore, it can be concluded that in the studied doping range the dopant-vacancy complexes do not exist. The reason for the inactivation of the dopant has to be found elsewhere. A possible explanation can be the formation of dopant precipitates.
