Abstract

We present measurements of the bound exciton lifetimes for the four common acceptors in Si and for the first two bound multiple exciton complexes in Si:Ga and Si:Al. We present a calculation of the Auger transition rate for the acceptor bound excitons in Si which accounts for the observed lifetimes and their dependence on the acceptor type.
