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.

Metastable doping behavior in antimony‐implanted (100) silicon

TL;DR: In this paper, high-dose antimony-implanted (100) silicon has been activated by furnace annealing at temperatures ∼600°C to achieve active concentrations up to 3×1020 cm−3, an order of magnitude in excess of the equilibrium solubility limit for antimony in silicon.

n-Type emitter epitaxy for crystalline silicon thin-film solar cells

TL;DR: The epitaxial emitter could be an alternative method of n-type emitter processing with adjustable emitter profile and short deposition time as mentioned in this paper, and it is possible to simplify the solar cell process when depositing the emitter by epitaxy in-situ after the growth of the base.

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.
