Abstract

The kinetics of carrier capture, emission and recombination at a deep trap are studied using a model in which these processes go via an excited state. It is shown that non-exponential transients can result and that detailed balance interpretations should be used with care. The model is used to interpret experiments on Si:Se and Si:S.
