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.

Impact of growth rate on impurities segregation at grain boundaries in silicon during Bridgman growth

TL;DR: In this article, a small scale Bridgman type furnace was used to grow bi-crystal silicon ingots with low angle grain boundaries at three different pulling rates, namely 3, 13, 13 and 40 µm/s.

Solid-Phase Epitaxy

TL;DR: In this article, solid phase epitaxy (SPE) is used to activate an implanted dopant profile on a low thermal budget, often to concentrations much greater than the dopant's solid solubility limit.

Growth and characterization of polycrystalline silicon ingots from metallurgical grade source material

TL;DR: In this paper, the impurity concentration in Si-A1 alloys was investigated and the growth rate of 0.5 mm/min was found to be the optimum for preparing relatively pure Si- A1 alloy.

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.
