“…2) Because of their donorlike nature, they have a much larger capture cross section for electrons than for holes, i.e., σ n σ p . 5) On the other hand, iron forms a deep acceptor level in GaAs at E v + 0.46 eV, 6) and the level tends to capture holes rather than electrons, i.e., σ n σ p . 7,8) Hence, it is expected that iron doping of the SI wafer can control the transient lifetimes as well as its resistivity through transient carrier capturing and carrier compensation at equilibrium, respectively.…”
