Everything about Deep-level Defect totally explained
Deep-level defects are a generally undesirable type of electronic defect in
semiconductors. They are "deep" in the sense of having an energy level near the center of the
band gap, making them neither donors nor acceptors. They interfere with more useful types of
doping by
compensating the dominant
charge carrier type, annihilating either free electrons or
electron holes depending on which is more prevalent. They also directly interfere with the operation of
transistors,
light-emitting diodes and other electronic and opto-electronic devices, by offering an intermediate state inside the band gap.
Common
chemical elements that produce deep-level defects in
silicon include
iron,
nickel,
copper,
gold, and
silver. In general,
transition metals produce this effect, while light metals such as
aluminium do not.
