Abstract

The modeling of atomistic processes in semiconductors based on the density functional theory is outlined. The role of intrinsic defects in the self and dopant diffusion, as well as in the dopant activation is investigated for the case of silicon carbide. A hierarchy of annealing mechanisms for vacancies and interstitials is proposed. The identification of the microscopic origin of experimental defect centers by calculated defect signatures establishes a link between theoretical modeling and experiments.
