Effect of boron on the deep donors (DX centers) in GaAs:Si

We found that, when boron was introduced into GaAs:Si, the deep donors induced by pressure exceeding 20 kbar reported previously by M. Mizuta, M. Tachikawa, H. Kukimoto, and S. Minomura (J. Appl. Phys. 24, L143 (1985)) disappeared while new donor levels with reduced binding energies and capture barrier heights appeared. It is proposed that B atoms paired up with Si donor atoms and the resultant change in the short-range potential of the Si donor atoms depressed the capture barrier height of the pressure-induced deep donor.
