Abstract: | The defect engineering in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy InxGa1-xAs and InP by controlled oxygen doping using diethyl aluminum ethoxide (DEALO) was developed in this study. DEALO doping has
led to the incorporation of Al and O, and the compensation of shallow Si donors in InxGa1−xAs: Si with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25. With the same DEALO mole fraction during growth, the incorporation of Al and O was found to be independent
of x, but the compensation of Si donors decreases with increasing In content. Deep level transient spectroscopy analysis on
a series of InxGa1-xAs: Si. samples with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.18 revealed that oxygen incorporation led to a set of deep levels, similar to those found in
DEALO doped GaAs. As the In composition was increased, one or more of these deep levels became resonant with the conduction
band and led to a high electron concentration in oxygen doped In0.53Ga0.47As. Low temperature photoluminescence emission measurements at 12K on the same set of samples revealed the quenching of the
near-band edge peak, and the appearance of new oxygen-induced emission features. DEALO doping in InP has also led to the incorporation
of Al and O, and the compensation of Si donors due to oxygen-induced multiple deep levels. |
