Carrier concentration spikes at the epilayer/substrate interface were observed in some two-dimensional electron gas AIGaAs/GaAs
structures grown by low pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. Using secondary ion mass spectroscopy, the carrier spikes
were correlated with indium. Under certain growth conditions an anomalous interfacial layer, which is compositionally inhomogeneous,
is formed producing an enhanced carrier density. Procedures are described which reduce the presence of indium at the epilayer/substrate
interface and eliminate the carrier spike. 相似文献

The effects of GaAs buffer layer and lattice-matching on the nature of deep levels involved in Zn(S)Se/GaAs heterostructures
are investigated by means of deeplevel transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The heterojunction diodes (HDs) where nZn(S)Se is grown
on p+-GaAs by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy are used as a test structure. The DLTS measurement reveals that when ZnSe is directly
grown on a GaAs substrate, there exist five electron traps A-E at activation energies of 0.20, 0.23, 0.25, 0.37, and 0.53
eV, respectively. Either GaAs buffer layer and lattice-matching may reduce the incorporation of traps C, D, and E, implying
that these traps are ascribed to surface treatment of GaAs substrate and to lattice relaxation. Concentration of trap B, which
is the most dominant level, is proportional to the donor concentration. However, in the ZnSSe/GaAs sub. HD, another trap level,
instead of trap B, locates at the almost same position as that of trap B, and it shows anomalous behavior that the DLTS peak
amplitude changes drastically as changing the rate windows. This is explained by the defect generation through the interaction
between sulfide and a GaAs substrate surface. For the trap A, the concentration is a function of donor concentration and lattice
mismatch, and the origin is attributed to a complex of donor induced defects and dislocations. 相似文献

Interface properties of MBE-grown ZnSe/GaAs substrate systems formed on variously pretreated GaAs surfaces, which include
standard chemically etched (5H2SO4:1H2O2: 1H2O), (NH4)2Sx-, NH4I-, and HF-pretreated surfaces, are investigated by capacitance-voltage (C-V) and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS)
measurements. A HF-pretreated and annealed ZnSe/p-GaAs sample showed marked reduction of interface state density, Nss, with Nss,min below 4 x 1011cm-2 eV-1 near Ec- EFS= 1.0 eV. The value is about one order of magnitude smaller than that of the standard chemically etched interface, and comparable
to (NH4)2Sx- pretreated interface. Nevertheless, C-V characteristics of ZnSe/nGaAs samples, which were measured for the first time, indicate
that interface Fermi level, EFS, is not completely unpinned due to the interface states located above the midgap. A consistent result was obtained by DLTS
method in determining EFS position. The influence of Nss distribution on vertical current conduction is also analyzed. It is found that U-shaped interface states with Nss(E) > 1 x 1013 cm-2 eV-1 above the midgap may cause an excess voltage drop larger than a few volts at the interface. 相似文献

We have theoretically studied the mobility limited by interface roughness scattering on two-dimensional electrons gas(2DEG) at a single heterointerface(triangle-shaped quantum well).Our results indicate that,like the interface roughness scattering in a square quantum well,the roughness scattering at the AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs heterointerface can be characterized by parameters of roughness height A and lateral A,and in addition by electric field F.A comparison of two mobilities limited by the interface roughness scattering between the present result and a square well in the same condition is given. 相似文献

A method is presented for analysis of digitally recorded capacitance transients to give activation energies and capture cross-sections
of two deep levels which would yield overlapping peaks in conventional DLTS spectra. It is shown that baseline errors can
be overcome by proper analysis of the data. The accuracy of the method is examined by simulation with parameters representative
of a typical DLTS system. The addition of various noise levels is also simulated and the effects of averaging of transients
on the ability to discriminate closely spaced traps is examined quantitatively. 相似文献

We performed 1—2 keVcathodoluminescence measurements and He-Ne and HeCd excited photoluminescence studies of ZnSe/GaAs( 100)
heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Our goal was to investigate the deep level electronic structure and its
connection with the heterojunction band offsets. We observed novel deep level emission features at 0.8, 0.98, 1.14, and 1.3
eV which are characteristic of the ZnSe overlayer and independent in energy of overlayer thickness. The corresponding deep
levels lie far below those of the near-bandedge features commonly used to characterize the ZnSe crystal quality. The relative
intensity and spatial distribution of the deep level emission was found to be strongly affected by the Zn/Se atomic flux ratio
employed during ZnSe growth. The same flux ratio has been shown to influence both the quality of the ZnSe overlayer and the
band offset in ZnSe/GaAs heterojunctions. In heterostructures fabricated in Se-rich growth conditions, that minimize the valence
band offset and the concentration of Se vacancies, the dominant deep level emission is at 1.3 eV. For heterostructures fabricated
in Zn-rich growth conditions, emission by multiple levels at 0.88,0.98, and 1.14 eV dominates. The spectral energies and intensities
of deep level transitions reported here provide a characteristic indicator of ZnSe epilayer stoichiometry and near-interface
defect densities. 相似文献

In this work we investigate ZnSe/GaAs heterostructures with an additional 2 nm controlled interfacial layer (CIL) of Se- or
Zn-rich composition to modify the band offset. The samples are analyzed as a function of annealing temperature by cathodoluminescence
spectroscopy. The as-prepared samples show defect luminescence at ∼ 0.9 eV. With staged annealing at increasing temperatures,
both the Zn-rich as well as the Se-rich interfacial layer exhibits luminescence at ∼ 1.9 eV, indicative of defect formation
with an onset temperature of ∼400°C. Excitation-dependent spectroscopy provides evidence for defect formation near the interface,
which extends into the ZnSe epilayer at higher temperatures. Compared to earlier work, where the threshold temperature for
defect formation in bulk samples fabricated under Se-rich growth conditions occurs at temperatures as low as 325°C, the resistance
to defect formation has now been improved to that of stoichiometric ZnSe. These results demonstrate that epitaxially grown
CILs provide a means to alter ZnSe/GaAs band offsets without degrading the heterojunction’s resistance to defect formation
at elevated temperatures. 相似文献

The radiative recombination processes involving two dimensional (2D) carriers from the notch potential formed at the interface
of modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures have been studied by means of photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence
excitation spectroscopy in the presence of an external electric field applied perpendicular to the layers via a gate electrode.
Two PL bands related to the 2D electron gas are interpreted as the radiative recombination between 2D electrons and holes
from the valence band (HB1) and from residual acceptors (HB2), respectively. The band bending in the active layer, which determines
the energy positions of these H-bands, can be controlled by applying an external electric field. However, also the separation
between the Fermi edge, EF, and the second 2D electron subband is deliberately varied by applying an electric field. At a sufficiently small separation,
an efficient scattering path near k=0 is available for electrons at the Fermi energy. This can be observed in the PL spectra
as a striking enhancement of the many-body excitonic transition, usually referred to as the Fermi edge singularity (FES).
The enhancement of the FES is usually explained in terms of an efficient scattering for electrons at the Fermi edge via the
nearly resonant adjacent subband. The efficiency of this process is dependent on the separation between the Fermi edge, EF, and the next subband, which can be controlled via the applied field in our experiments. 相似文献

GaInP layers were grown selectively by low pressure MOVPE in patterned SiO2 masks on GaAs (100) substrates. The variation of the composition and spontaneous ordering phenomena were analysed by Raman
spectroscopy and photoluminescence. In contrast to GaInAs, the composition of GalnP shows only a very weak dependence on the
size of the structures. On the other hand, there is a shift of the bandgap energy up to 40 meV with decreasing size of the
stripes caused by ordering of the Ga and In atoms. Based on these findings lattice matched GaAs/GalnP multilayers were grown
to delineate the growth history of the structures. It was demonstrated that the growth habit of deposition in narrow slits
(>1μm) can be used to produce mesa-like stripes with dimensions below 100 nm on top of the mesa. Results of GaAs/GaInP quantum
wells selectively grown on top of a mesa are presented. 相似文献

GaAs epitaxial layers have been grown on (001) 6† off-oriented toward (110) Ge substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy.
In order to study the influence of V/III ratio on the growth mechanisms and the structural properties of the layers, the input
flow of arsine was changed over a wide range of values, while keeping constant all other experimental settings. Optical microscopy
in the Nomarski contrast mode, x-ray topography and high resolution diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford
backscattering have been used to investigate the epilayers. It has been found that the growth rate increases and the surface
morphology worsens with increasing V/III ratio. The abruptness of the layer-substrate interface has also been found to strongly
depend on the V/III ratio, the best results being obtained under Ga-rich conditions. The main structural defects within the
layers are stacking faults and misfit dislocations. Layers grown under As-rich conditions only contain stacking faults, probably
originated by a growth island coalescence mechanism, whereas layers grown under Ga-rich conditions contain both misfit dislocations
and stacking faults generated by dissociation of threading segments of interfacial dislocations. In spite of the different
defects, the strain relaxation has been found to follow the same trend irrespective of the V/III ratio. Finally, the relaxation
has been found to start at a thickness exceeding the theoretical critical value. 相似文献

The results of optical absorption and deel level transient spectroscopy on various V-doped GaAs materials (n type Bridgman, n and p type liquid encapsulated Czochralski,n andp type liquid phase epitaxy) are reported. It is definitively shown that the single acceptor state of isolated vanadium is

of V-doped GaAs has been detected. From the analysis of the absolute photoionization cross section gs/sk

The existence of Zn-As and vacancy-contained Ga-Se interfacial layers are suggested by transmission electron microscopy of
Zn-and Se-exposed (or - reacted) ZnSe/GaAs interfaces, respectively. A very low density of faulted defects in the range of
∼104cm2 was obtained in samples with Zn passivation on an Asstabilized GaAs-(2 × 4). However, the density of As precipitates increases
as the surface coverage of c(4 × 4) reconstruction increased on the Zn-exposed Asstabilized GaAs-(2 × 4) surface and this
is associated with an increase of the density of extrinsic-type stacking faults bound by partial edge dislocations with a
core structure terminated on additional cations. On the other hand, densities of extrinsic Shockley-and intrinsic Frank-type
stacking faults are of ∼5 × 107/cm2 in samples grown on Se-exposed Ga-rich GaAs-(4 × 6) surfaces. Annealing on this Se-exposed Ga-rich GaAs-(4 × 6) generated
a high density of vacancy loops (1 × 109/cm2) and an increase of the densities of both Shockley-and Frank-type stacking faults (>5 × 108/cm2) after the growth of the films. Furthermore, we have studied the dependence of the generation and structure of Shockley-type
stacking faults on the beam flux ratios in samples grown on Zn-exposed As-stabilized GaAs-(2 × 4) surfaces. Cation-and anion-terminated
extrinsic-type partial edge dislocations were generated in samples grown under Zn-and Se-rich conditions, respectively. However,
an asymmetric distribution on defect density under varied beam flux ratios (0.3 ≤ PSe/PZn ≤ 10) is obtained. 相似文献

Luminescence and soft x-ray photoemission measurements of clean metal interfaces with (110) surfaces of CdTe from several
sources as well as (100) MBE vs (110) LEC GaAs reveal that the quality of the semiconductor can have a major effect on the
interface Fermi level stabilization. Crystals with low optical emission from bulk deep levels show reduced state formation
at their metal interfaces and improved adherence to the work function model of barrier height. Furthermore, atomic-scale interface
chemistry can inhibit the formation of deep traps due to interdiffusion, thereby improving control over barrier formation. 相似文献

Al0.3Ga0.7As:Si/GaAs modulation-doped field-effect transistor-type heterostructures were grown using two different growth temperatures
(500 and 620°C) and three doping modes (δ-doping, pulse-doping, and uniform-doping). Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS)
measurements were performed on these structures using a new Fourier-analysis method. Up to four DLTS peaks, related to the
different possible configurations of the nearest Al and Ga neighbors around each DX site, were observed. Both the growth temperature
and the doping-mode are found to affect the DLTS spectra, in particular the number of observed peaks and their width. These
results are interpreted in terms of the different mobilities of the Si doping atoms on the surface during growth. 相似文献

The photocurrent transients, IPC(t), were studied in semi-insulating (SI) GaAs during a low-temperature (low-T) illumination. Unusual transients were explained
by the model, relating IPC(t) to the deep levels/traps and their occurpancy. Such traps were actually detected and characterized by the independent
measurements of the thermally stimulated currents (TSCs). The processes of the generation, recombination, and capture were
described by a set of coupled differential equations and solved numerically. The IPC(t), calculated without any free parameter, well reproduced (through eight orders of magnitude) the experimental transients
over a wide range of the photon energies and intensities. The best-fit parameters agreed well with those determined from the
TSC measurements. 相似文献

NiInGe ohmic contact materials, which are attractive to use in future GaAs devices, were previously developed in our laboratories.
Although the NiInGe contacts provided low contact resistances of about 0.3 Ω-mm and excellent thermal stability, further reduction
of the contact resistance (RC) of the NiInGe contacts was mandatory to use these contacts in submicron devices. In this paper, the microstructural parameters,
which influence the RC values, were investigated by correlating the RC values with the microstructure at the interface between the contact materials and the GaAs substrate. The RC values of the NiInGe contacts were found to depend strongly on the volume fraction and the In concentration (x) of the InxGa1−xAs compound semiconductor layers, which were formed at the metal/GaAs interface. Both the volume fraction and the In concentration
of the InxGa1−xAs layers were found to depend on the thickness of the In layer used in the NiInGe contact and the annealing temperature to
form the ohmic contact. A RC value of 0.18 Ω-mm was obtained for the Ni (18 nm)/In (13 nm)/Ge (30 nm) contact (where a slash “/” indicates the deposition
sequence) after annealing at temperature of 650°C for 5 sec. 相似文献

Carrier profiles of MBE grown Ga(As,Sb)/GaAs heterostructures were studied. In low Sb content samples of Ga(As,Sb)/GaAs grown
by MBE the experimentally measured carrier profiles exhibit double dips in concentration, whereas a single large dip is ob-tained
for higher Sb content with larger lattice-mismatched samples. The capacitance voltage(C-V) carrier profile of a Schottky barriern- N heterojunction of Au/n-GaAsSb/N-GaAs has been modeled and double dips occur when nonuniform doping is present which may explain the experimentally observed
double dips in a GaAs0.95Sb0.05/GaAs specimen. For large lattice mismatch and therefore large heterointerface charge density in the model, the accumulation
peak due to ΔEc is shown to be overwhelmed by a pro-nounced single dip as observed in higher Sb content samples such as GaAs0.91Sb0.09/ GaAs and GaAs/GaAs0.9Sb0.1. 相似文献

采用双层条状金属热应力模型,用MATLAB方法对退火过程中GaAs/InP晶片间的应力和双轴弹性形变能进行模拟和分析。结果表明:将InP剪薄至200μm,GaAs剪薄至175μm,剪应力取得了一个相对的小值,而剥离应力更是被完全消除,这时正应力也相对较小。而按照一定的比例适度剪薄两侧晶片的厚度,可以使得两侧的双轴形变能减小到原来的一半以下。通过减薄键合晶片的厚度可以得到较好的键合质量。另外,不管那一种应力都随退火温度的升高而快速增加,所以实验中一定保持低的退火温度,通常小于300°C为宜。 相似文献
