Chapter 8 Hyper-Pure Germanium Detector

In both Si and Ge, the material with highest available purity tends to be p-type, which requires addition of donor atoms for compensation. The alkali metals like Li, Na tend to form interstitial donors in Si and Ge. When one of these donor materials (practically Li) is introduced into Si or Ge, the donor atoms are easily ionized
