Growth of ultrahigh carbon-doped InGaAs and its application toInP/InGaAs(C) HBTs

Growth of ultrahigh carbon-doped p-type InGaAs lattice matched to InP by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) using carbon tetrabromide (CBr₄ ) as a doping source was investigated. Effects of growth temperature, group V supply pressure, and CBr₄ supply pressure on growth rate, composition, mobility, and hole concentration of carbon-doped InGaAs were studied. Ultrahigh net hole concentration and room-temperature mobility of 2 × 10²⁰/cm³ and 33 cm²/V·sec, respectively, were achieved. Mobility of the ultrahigh carbon-doped InGaAs using CBr₄ compared favorably to those of CBE grown carbon-doped InGaAs using carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) and molecular beam epitaxy grown beryllium (Be)-doped InGaAs grown at low temperature. The highly carbon-doped InGaAs layers grown by CBE using CBr₄ as a doping source showed a negligible hydrogen passivation effect and were used for the growth of high-performance, highly carbon-doped base InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor epitaxial layer structures     

Carrier Depth Profile of Si/SiGe/Si n-p-n HBT Structural Materials Characterized by Electrochemical Capacitance-Voltage Method

Si/SiGe/Si n-p-n HBT structural materials have been grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy with disilane, solid Ge, diborane and phosphine as sources. The materials are of good structural properties. The effectiveness of Electrochemical Capacitance-Voltage (ECV) technique on profiling the shallow doped layers of nanometer dimensions has been demonstrated. Compared with spreading resistance probe, the ECV technique is relatively easy to get the carrier distribution profile, especially for the Si/SiGe/Si HBT structural materials with shallow (≤50nm) base regions (p-type SiGe layer, Ge content about 0.2). The results show that n-p-n structures can be obtained by in situ doping.     

Growth and characterization of GaAs films deposited on Ge/Si composite substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

We report the results of studies which have been made on heteroepitaxial layers of GaAs and AlGaAs grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on composite substrates that consist of four different types of heteroepitaxial layered structures of Ge and Ge-Si grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (100)-oriented Si substrates. It is found that of the four structures studied, the preferred composite substrate is a single layer of Ge ∼1 μm thick grown directly on a Si buffer layer. The double-crystal X-ray rocking curves of 2 μm thick GaAs films grown on such substrates have FWHM values as small as 168 arc sec. Transmission electron micrographs of these Ge/Si composite substrates has shown that the number of dislocations in the Ge heteroepitaxial layer can be greatly reduced by an anneal at about 750° C for 30 min which is simultaneously carried out during the growth of the GaAs layer. The quality of the GaAs layers grown on these composite substrates can be greatly improved by the use of a five-period GaAs-GaAsP strained-layer superlattice (SLS). Using the results of these studies, low-threshold optically pumped AlGaAs-GaAs DH laser structures have been grown by MOCVD on MBE Ge/Si composite substrates.     

Supersonic jet epitaxy of silicon carbide on silicon using methylsilane

Cubic SiC thin films have been epitaxially grown on silicon substrates using the single source precursor methylsilane (H₃Si–CH₃). Single phase films were grown by supersonic jet epitaxy (SJE) at temperatures as low as 560°C on Si(111) and 600°C on Si(001). Growth rates and crystal quality were found to be strongly dependent on substrate temperature and methylsilane kinetic energy. Films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM).     

Doping of gallium nitride using disilane

Nearly complete activation of the Si impurity atom in the GaN lattice has been observed.     

High-Quality (211)B CdTe on (211)Si Substrates Using Metalorganic Vapor-Phase Epitaxy

High-quality (211)B CdTe buffer layers are required during Hg_1−x Cd _x Te heteroepitaxy on Si substrates. In this study, direct metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of (211)B CdTe on Si, as well as CdTe on Si using intermediate Ge and ZnTe layers, has been achieved. Tertiary butyl arsine was used as a precursor to enable As surfactant action during CdTe MOVPE on Si. The grown CdTe/Si films display a best x-ray diffraction rocking-curve full-width at half-maximum of 64 arc-s and a best Everson etch pit density of 3 × 10⁵ cm⁻². These values are the best reported for MOVPE-grown (211)B CdTe/Si and match state-of-the-art material grown using molecular-beam epitaxy.
