Abstract
In this lecture, an attempt is made to present all the available knowledge on the incorporation and behavior of impurities into III–V Semiconductors grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Initially, attention is paid to unintentional impurities with regard to their possible origin and mechanisms of incorporation. Intentional donors and acceptors are then systematically treated from the viewpoints of their incorporation mechanism, their behaviors, solubilities and limitations as donors species for practical applications. Wherever possible the incorporation kinetics are considered algebraically and used to give some insight to mechanism of incorporation.
