T1 DEFECT FORMATION MECHANISMS OF ZINC SELENIDE LAYERS DOPED BY ISOVALENT IMPURITIES OF THE II GROUP JF Telecommunications and Radio Engineering JO TRE YR 2019 FD 2019-05-16 VO 78 IS 8 SP 715 OP 723 K1 defect formation mechanisms K1 zinc selenide K1 isovalent impurity K1 intrinsic point defects K1 quasichemical reaction method K1 electronegativity AB The paper discusses the mechanisms of defect formation in melt zinc selenide crystals doped with isovalent impurities of the second group of the Periodic Table. An analytical calculation of the concentrations of equilibrium point defects was carried out by the method of quasichemical reactions using the concepts of electronegativity and effective charge. It has been established that the dominant defects in the doped material are singly charged vacancies of zinc V'Zn and selenium V·Se, as well as singly charged interstitial selenium Se'i. It is shown that the increase in doping temperature Ta from 373 to 1237 K causes se increase of acceptor centers number (V'Zn and Se'i) and decrease of concentration of donor ounces V·Se however, the conductivity of doped substrates at 300 K remains a hole in the whole range of change Ta. At Ta = 373 K the estimated concentration of free holes is ~1019 cm-3 and satisfactorily consistent with the value p determined from the temperature dependence of the layer resistance ZnSe:Ca.
