Theoretical investigation of the thermal conductivity reduction in highly-doped Si is an area of active research. Recently, first-principles electron-phonon scattering was found to produce a significant reduction in the thermal conductivity of highly-doped Si. However, the study could not reproduce the experimental results.

In the present work, we calculate the first-principles phonon scattering rates by electrons and point defects, and use them to calculate the thermal conductivity of highly-P- and B-doped Si for a range of temperatures and concentrations. We find that the phonon scattering by electrons dominates at carrier concentrations below 1019 cm−3 and is enough to reproduce the experimental thermal conductivity reduction at all temperatures. However, at higher defect concentrations point-defect phonon scattering contributes substantially to the thermal conductivity reduction even at room temperature. With a combined treatment of the phonon scattering by electrons as well as phonons, an excellent agreement is obtained with the experimental values at all temperatures.
