Abstract

We investigate the effects of charged impurities in n-type Silicon inversion layers. We show the occurrence of ground and excited-state impurity bands as a function of electric field and concentration. Also the effects of disorder and for given impurity concentrations, the lowest excited band play an essential role in the optical and transport measurements. For high electric fields the impurity bands go to the ideally 2D separated bands.
