The conduction band minimum formation of GaAs{sub 0.5{minus}y}P{sub 0.5{minus}y}N{sub 2y} is investigated for small nitrogen compositions (0.1% < 2y < 1.0%), by using a pseudopotential technique. This formation is caused by two unusual processes both involving the deep-gap impurity level existing in the dilute alloy limit y {r_arrow} 0. The first process is an anticrossing with the {Gamma}{sub Ic}-like extended state of GaAs{sub 0.5}P{sub 0.5}. The second process is an interaction with other impurity levels forming a subband. These two processes are expected to occur in any alloys exhibiting a deep-gap impurity level at one of its dilute limit.
