AbstractWe report high resolution infrared absorption spectra associated with the deep zinc acceptor in silicon. The optical transitions between ground and bound excited “p-like” states of the neutral helium-like double acceptor Zn0 center have been observed for the first time. The absorption cross section for the hole transition is found to be very small, of the order of 10-17 cm2. Energy spacings of the P3/2 Rydberg series are very similar to the spacings of the group-III acceptors, suggesting that, in spite of the large ground state binding energy, effective mass approximation still applies to the bound excited states. This represents one more case where the strong central cell potential does not significantly disturb the neutral helium-like bound excited states. Similar observations have been made for the less deep neutral double acceptor Be, and for the chalcogens donors S, Se and Te.The optical ionization energy of Zn0/- has been determined to be 2575 cm-1 (319 meV).Two additional sets of absorption lines related to zinc have been observed at 2130 cm-1 and 2758 cm-1. Their origin will be discussed.

In boron-doped silicon, the excitation of bound holes from the acceptor ground state to the excited states leads to an infrared absorption-line spectrum. In a recent half-width study of the boron absorption lines, Colbow (1963) separated the various line-broadening contributions for the first time. Part of Colbow's half-widths is now found to be due to external strains introduced by the sample mounting. New half-width measurements of "strain-free" mounted boron-doped silicon are presented, Colbow's work is corrected, and additional information regarding the various broadening contributions is given.

Aluminum antimonide is a semiconductor of the Group III-V order. With a wide indirect band gap, AlSb is one of the least discovered of this family of semiconductors. Bulk synthesis of AlSb has been reported on numerous occasions, but obtaining a single phase has always proven to be extremely difficult. This work reports a simple method for the synthesis of single-phase AlSb. Subsequently, consolidation was done into a near single-phase highly dense semiconductor in a form usable for thermoelectric applications. Further, the thermoelectric properties of this system are accounted for the first time. In addition, the mechanical properties of the intermetallic compound are briefly discussed for a possibility of further use.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, a detailed study is presented for the growth kinetics of rapid thermal oxidation of lightly-doped silicon in N2O and O2 on (100), (110), and (111) oriented substrates. It was found that (110)-oriented Si has the highest growth rate in both N2O and dry O2, and (100) Si has the lowest rate. There is no “crossover” on the growth rate of rapid thermal N2O oxidation between (110) Si and (111) Si as compared to oxides grown in furnace N2O. Pressure dependence of rapid thermal N2O oxidation is reported for the first time. MOS capacitor results show that the low-pressure (40 Torr) N2O-grown oxides have much less interface state generation and charge trapping under constant current stress as compared to oxides grown in either 760 Torr N2O or O2 ambient.

Energies and fine-structure corrections for the doubly excited 3Pe and 3De states of the helium atom are calculated using the Rayleigh–Ritz variational method and the saddle-point variational method with a multiconfiguration-interaction function. The relativistic and mass polarization corrections are included. The oscillator strengths, transition rates, and wavelengths are also calculated. The doubly excited states are grouped into Rydberg series labeled by the quantum numbers K, T, and A to display the systematic regularity along the series. The results are compared with the theoretical and experimental data in the literature. PACS Nos.: 31.15.Pf, 31.25.Jf, 32.70.Cs
