Abstract
The available data on solid solubilities of impurity elements in germanium and silicon are summarized in the form of solidus or solvus curves. New solubility data are presented for the lead-germanium, zinc-germanium, indium-germanium, antimony-silicon, gallium-silicon and aluminum-silicon systems. The correlation of the solid solubilities with the heats of sublimation and the atom sizes of the impurity elements is considered.

Iron impurities in Si3N4 processing

TL;DR: In this article, the atomic environment of iron impurities was investigated during the processing cycle of reaction-bonding silicon nitride (RBSN), and several analysis techniques were utilized, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and electron spin resonance (ESR), to examine iron impurity in the starting silicon powder, in sintered silicon compacts, and in RBSN materials.

Electrochemical production of silicon

TL;DR: In this paper , different scientific investigations of the electrochemical production of silicon by classifying them based on the employed principles (electrorefining, electrowinning, and solid-state reduction) and electrolytes (molten oxides, fluorides, chlorides and ionic liquids [ILs]) are discussed.

Silicon Nanocrystal Films for Electronic Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the optical, structural, and electronic properties of silicon nanocrystal layers before and after two different methods of thermal post-processing are investigated in a phenomenological model for the situation with porous particle precursor layers.

Electrical Properties of Pure Silicon and Silicon Alloys Containing Boron and Phosphorus

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that at high temperatures, the electron and hole mobilities of pure silicon alloys are independent of temperature, and at lower temperatures scattering by both ionized and neutral impurity centers contribute, and the mobility is largest for the more pure samples.
