Re-examining the silicon self-interstitial charge states and defect levels: A density functional theory and bounds analysis study

Journal Article Stewart, James A. ; Modine, Normand A. ; Dingreville, Remi - AIP Advances

The self-interstitial atom (SIA) is one of two fundamental point defects in bulk Si. Isolated Si SIAs are extremely difficult to observe experimentally. Even at very low temperatures, they anneal before typical experiments can be performed. Given the challenges associated with experimental characterization, accurate theoretical calculations provide valuable information necessary to elucidate the properties of these defects. Previous studies have applied Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) to the Si SIA, using either the local density approximation or the generalized gradient approximation to the exchange-correlation (XC) energy. The consensus of these studies indicates that a Si SIA may exist in fivemore »« less

Density Functional Theory Calculations of Activation Energies for Non-radiative Carrier Capture by Deep Defect Levels in Semiconductors.

Journal Article Modine, Normand Arthur ; Wright, Alan F. ; Lee, Stephen R. - Sandia journal manuscript; Not yet accepted for publication

Carrier recombination due to defects can have a major impact on device performance. The rate of defect-induced carrier recombination is determined by both defect levels and carrier capture cross-sections. Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) has been widely and successfully used to predict defect levels in semiconductors and insulators, but only recently has work begun to focus on using DFT to determine carrier capture cross-sections. Lang and Henry worked out the fundamental theory of carrier-capture cross-sections in the 1970s and showed that, in most cases, room temperature carrier-capture cross-sections differ between defects primarily due to differences in the carrier capture activationmore »« less
