Capacitance spectroscopy measurements of the energy levels and majority carrier capture cross sections of deep impurity states associated with S, Zn, Pb and Bi in Ge are presented. Similarities in the electrical properties of these elements with other deep impurities in Ge are discussed.

ABSTRACTThe electrical properties of thermal donors centers, generated after annealing CZ-silicon at 450° C are carefully evaluated. The energy levels are corrected for the Poole-Frenkel lowering are compared to the ionization energy of the dominant centers revealed by infrared absorption experiments. The capture cross sections are found to be ≈ 2 × 10-12 cm2 for TDI and ≈ 2 × 10-13 cm2 for TD2. Detailed examination of their temperature dependence reveals that they follow a common law σ α T-5.

Intrinsic defects in CsPbBr3 microcrystalline films have been studied using thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique in a wide temperature range (100–400 K). Below room temperature, TSC emission is composed by a set of several energy levels, in the range 0.11–0.27 eV, suggesting a quasi-continuum distribution of states with almost constant density. Above room temperature, up to 400 K, the temperature range of interest for solar cells, both dark current and photocurrent, are mainly dominated by energy levels in the range 0.40–0.45 eV. Even if measured trap densities are high, in the range 1013–1016 cm−3, the very small capture cross-sections, about 10−26 m2, agree with the high defect tolerance characterizing this material.
