The photoluminescence spectroscopy method for determining the concentration of shallow acceptors or donors in silicon is extended for the case of aluminum. A calibration function of the photoluminescence intensity ratio of the aluminum bound exciton Al TO (BE) and the free exciton I TO (FE) is reported in the aluminum concentration range of 10 15 –10 17 atoms/cm 3 and in the temperature range of 15 K < T < 27 K. It is described as Al TO (BE)/I TO ( FE) = 10 –15.1 × c Al 0.84 × e 5.9meV/ kT .Dependence of the PL intensity ratio Al TO (BE)/I TO (FE) on the aluminum concentration. The line represents the calibration function. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
