Band‐Gap Narrowing in n‐Type Moderately Doped Silicon at 300 K

H. Vancong

Abstract: The band-gap narrowing at 300 K in n-type moderately doped silicon is investigated, basing on a second-order Thomas-Fermi model which was first developed by Friedel and recently by Van Cong e t al. There are three contributions t o band-gap narrowing: (1) AEg,opt (rigid-band effect), (2) rn (non-rigid band effect), and (3) AEg,FD (Fermi-

An analysis of capacitance potential data of passive iron on the basis of the theory of critical states yields a critical point near the Flade potential EF. The critical point is characterized by a minimal critical thickness of the passive layer of about 1.3 nm at EF, yielding a field strength within the passive film of 4.6 . 106 Vcm-'. The Flade potential can be interpreted within the framework of the PIN model of the iron passive layer (91 as the minimal external "force", necessary for the formation of stoichiometric y-Fez03. The system behavior near the critical point can be appropriate described by the short range order or lattice gas model.Eine Analyse von Kapazitats-Potential-Messungen an passivem Eisen auf der Grundlage der Theorie der kritischen Zustande ergibt einen kritischen Punkt in der Nahe des Flade-Potentials EF. Der kritische Punkt ist charakterisiert durch eine minimale kritixhe Schichtdicke von etwa 1,3 nm bei EF, entsprechend einer Feldstarke innerhalb der Passivschicht von 4,6 . 106 Vcm-'. Im Rahmen des PIN-Modells der Eisenpassivschicht f9] kann das made-Potential als die minimale adere ,,Kraft" gedeutet werden, die erforderlich ist, um stochiometrisches y-Fe,03 zu erzeugen. Das Verhalten des Systems in der Nahe des kritischen Punktes kann am besten durch das Gitter-Gas-Modell beschrieben werden.

Recently, Shibib et al. /1/ and Van Cong et al. /2/ reported a relation that describes the effect of band-gap narrowing (BCN) on the effective electric field experienced by the minority-carrier holes in the n-type heavily doped emitter region of silicon p-n junction solar cells. Accurate models of this effective electric field are important for understanding and improving device performance, not only for solar cells /1 to 3/, but also for other junction devices such as high-accuracy photodetectors /4/. Our previous theory of BGN. /2/ is more applicable to heavily doped materials than to moderately doped semiconductors typically used in devices /3/.The purpose of this note is to investigate the effective electric field E acting on the minority-carrier holes in n-type moderately doped silicon at 300 K, in which the donor concentration range 1s found to be 1 0 2 3 . 5~1 0 which will be referred to as I.
