Abstract

Several series of optical absorption lines are found in the wavenumber range 190–270 1/cm in as-grown crytals of n-type Si involving oxygen and nitrogen simultaneously. They are related to the electronic transitions associated with five kinds of shallow donors each consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms (N-O complex). The analysis of the generation kinetics shows that the complex of the main type consists of one oxygen atom and two or three pairs of nitrogen atoms.
