Effect of Nickel and Copper Impurities on the Recombination of Holes and Electrons in Germanium

View Full Paper
JBJustin Adams BurtonGHG. W. HullFMFrançois Morin

Key Points

  • To determine how the addition of nickel and copper impurities affects the rate of electron-hole recombination and carrier lifetimes in germanium.
  • Synthesized and prepared single-crystal germanium samples doped with controlled concentrations of nickel and copper impurities.
  • Measured minority carrier lifetimes and evaluated recombination kinetics across the doped semiconductor crystals.
  • Nickel and copper impurities act as highly effective recombination centers in germanium crystals.
  • Trace additions of both metals markedly decrease charge carrier lifetime by accelerating the electron-hole recombination process.
