Abstract
A general model is presented, describing the effects of gold/platinum doping in silicon. The steady-state case is then analyzed with referen ce to the conductivity degradation due to deep impurities in realistic cases of n- and p-type materials. In particular, the different influe nce of gold with respect to platinum in n-type material, due to the lo calization in energy of the two acceptor levels, is quantitatively exp lained and reproduced.
