Abstract

New dislocation‐related photoluminescence (PL) data associated with various types of extended defects in Si are considered. It is found that the D6 line in n‐Si epitaxial layers is actually a doublet consisting of two lines separated by 2 meV. The D2 line strongly correlates with the presence of Frank dislocation loops in the crystals. The luminescence lines D1, D2 and the band associated with rod‐like defects are quenched by a magnetic field, the lines D4, D3 are not. The magneto‐quenching effect is interpreted in terms of the kinetics of carrier capture by extended defects.
