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.

Enhanced solubility and ion pairing of Cu and Au in heavily doped silicon at high temperatures

TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium solubilities of Cu and Au in silicon have been calculated for high temperatures 900-1100°C and heavy dopings (10 19 −10 21 cm −3 ) and compared with experimental results for uniformly bulk doped and diffusion doped material.

Excess and Hump Current in Esaki Diodes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the origin of the excess and hump current in Esaki diodes in terms of discrete defect energy levels in the forbidden band and explained the excess current by energy dissipating transitions in which electrons start from a defect location within the junction, tunnel to a virtual state in a localized defect in the p region, and drop to the valence band by impact recombination.

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.
