Tl. Petrenko et al., CLUSTER CALCULATION OF BORON IMPURITIES IN CUBIC SIC, SUBSTITUTING FOR SI-SITES AND C-SITES, Semiconductor science and technology, 11(9), 1996, pp. 1276-1284
Comparison calculation of boron impurities, substituting for Si and C
sites in cubic SiC, is performed in the framework of the cluster MNDO
method. Impurity site preference, equilibrium geometry, potential ener
gy surface, reorientation barriers, Franck-Condon shift, spin and char
ge density distribution and hyperfine parameters are under considerati
on. The reasonable values of all calculated parameters support the mod
el of a Jahn-Teller centre with strong coupling for the B-Si impurity.
Calculations predict the B-C impurity to be the effective-mass-like a
cceptor.
