Abstract

We studied the change in the 3d-shell configurations of Fe in B-doped Si under illumination by electron spin resonance (HSR) measurement. ESR signals originating from Fe_i⁺(3d⁷) and Fe _i⁰(3d⁸) were observed in Fe- and B-doped Si. The ESR signal of Fe_i⁺(3d⁷) disappeared and the signal intensity of Fe_i⁰(3d⁸) increased under illumination. These changes of the ESR signals under illumination were caused by the change in the charge state from Fe_i⁺(3d⁷) to Fe_i⁰(3d⁸) due to the capture of an electron. Subsequently, the process of recovery from Fe_i⁰(3d ⁸) to Fe_i⁺(3d⁷) due to the capture of a hole was observed after the light was turned off. We found that the relaxation time from Fe_i⁰(3d⁸) to Fe _i⁺(3d⁷) was approximately 30 s at 8 K. This was much longer than the lifetime of a free hole.
