Ion microprobe analysis of acceptor-doped II-VI compounds

Quantitative measurement of transport properties: Ag-doped nanocrystalline CdS thin films

“…Ag atom can act as either a p-type or n-type dopant in bulk II-VI semiconductors. When Ag atom substitutes for the cation it acts as a p-type dopant [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] but when it occupies an interstitial site, as an n-type dopant. 34,35,[40][41][42] At low Ag doping, comparatively large numbers of Ag + ions replace Cd 2+ ions substitutionally in the CdS lattice.…”

Electronic Impurity Doping in CdSe Nanocrystals

“…In bulk II–VI semiconductors, a silver atom can behave either as a p-type dopant − when it substitutes for the cation or as an n-type dopant ,,, when it occupies an interstitial site. In the latter case, the valence electron from the interstitial Ag atom can be directly donated to the lattice.…”
