摘要：

Eased on first-principles calculations and analysis of x-ray absorption measurements, an unconventional mechanism is proposed for the saturation of carriers in highly it-doped Si. The mechanism is Fermi-level pinning from a new class of defect centers containing two separated but interacting dopant atoms with no associated Si vacancies. The number of such centers increases sharply at high doping levels. A simple model provides very good agreement with the maximum carrier concentrations observed, in Si.
