Band-gap shift of the heavily doped single- and double-donor systems Si:Bi and Si:P,Bi

Abstract

The band-gap shift of the heavily single and double-donor doped systems Si:Bi and Si:P,Bi, prepared by ion implantation, was investigated theoretically and experimentally at room temperature. The calculations were carried out within a framework of the random-phase approximation and the temperature and different manybody effects were taken into account. The experimental data were obtained with photoconductivity measurements. Theoretical and experimental results fall closely together in a wide range of donor concentration.
