A Supplement to “Thermodynamics of Impurity Doping Reactions in Vapor Growth of Ge”

Abstract
Reduction yields of germanium iodides by hydrogen are largely governed by free energies of iodination of Ge. The experimental results on hydrogen reduction of GeI4 suggest that Lever's free energy data are more plausible than postulated in our paper, and the disproportionation reaction of GeI2 is predominant at 700°K in OTP. Both free energies of reduction of impurity iodides by Ge and reduction yields of their triiodides are calculated again. The experimental transfer ratios of some important impurities are of the same order as the reduction yields of impurity triiodides calculated from Lever's data.
