The degree of self-compensation in heavily doped binary semiconductors is calculated by assuming the existence of both doubly ionizable vacancies and impurity-vacancy complexes. It is found that the compensation by the complexes results in limitation in the concentration of effective donors. A tentative explanation is proposed for the observed limit in n-type conductivity in ZnTe.
