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.

Phase relationships in semiconductors

J. C. Brice
TL;DR: The distribution of solutes in semiconductors has a significant effect on device performance and has therefore been extensively studied as mentioned in this paper, and the theory of equilibrium processes is now relatively well understood but because of difficulties with the analysis of very dilute solutions involved, the amount of reliable experimental data is still rather limited.

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.
