The electronic properties of neutral ideal vacancies in some II-V comp
ounds have been studied in the Green's-function framework and using th
e tight-binding method. It was shown that deep levels in the fundament
al energy gap are created only for cation T-2 levels in phosphides and
anion A(1) level for Zn3As2. The cation T-2 level for arsenides is de
generate (or nearly degenerate) with the top of the valence bands.
