47. We do, indeed, get the same results as in Ref. for unscreened impurities: the transmission of minority carriers is blocked over a few hundreds of millielectron volt around the band edges. However, the transport of minority carriers mostly happen in gated devices, so that the impurities are, in practice, screened by oxides, gates and free carriers.
48. The Coulomb potentials for P and B are not exactly equal in absolute value because they differ on the impurity site, corresponding to different chemical shifts (Refs.).
49. The Δ 2 and Δ 4 valleys are exactly twofold and fourfold degenerate in the effective mass approximation only. In the tight-binding approach, intervalley couplings completely lift the degeneracies within the Δ 2 and Δ 4 valleys. This is for example visible in Fig.: the two steps around ε = 1.33 eV actually correspond to the Δ 4 valleys.
