Abstract

Density functional theory calculations are employed to gain a fundamental insight on the interaction of n-type dopants such as phosphorous and arsenic with oxygen interstitials and A-centers (vacancy-oxygen interstitial pairs) in silicon and germanium. We propose the formation of the phosphorous-vacancy-oxygen interstitial and arsenic-vacancy-oxygen interstitial cluster in both silicon and germanium.
