Excitation spectrum of the interstitial iron donor in silicon

Description

Iron-doped silicon has been investigated using transmission and photothermal ionization spectroscopy (PTIS). A spectrum of sharp lines was observed with both techniques between 6100 cm-1 and 6400 cm-1. The photo-ionization cross section spectra were determined with PTIS and photoelectron paramagnetic resonance, and it was concluded that the lines observed in transmission and PTIS originate from transitions to shallow excited donor states at the interstitial iron impurity in the neutral charge state (Feio). The line spectra were analyzed in terms of three overlapping donor series and the origins of these are discussed. (author) 16 refs., 4 figs
