Measurements of n-InGaAs with MBE layers: Relevance of negative magnetoresistance in the investigated samples

Measurements of n_H were performed. n_H values showed a distinct increase at temperatures below ~90 K (1.1 μm n-InGaAs samples) and a decrease at temperatures below ~30 K (7 μm n-InGaAs samples), depending on the doping level. These trends might be related to the magnetoresistance (MR) of the n-InGaAs samples. The MR behavior of the n-InGaAs samples with respect to magnetic field and temperature was apparently dependent on the doping level. Two n-InGaAs samples, one of which had a thin InGaAs epilayer (1.1 μm) and the other with a thicker (7 μm) epilayer, showed interesting behavior at low temperature. Their behavior at magnetic fields of approximately −15000 to +15,000 G were determined. The resistivity ((ρ_G – ρ₀)/ρ₀) of the 1.1 μm sample was negative at temperatures lower than 30 K.     

低温下应变外延层的单层生长

用接触式原子力显微镜来观察460℃低温下生长的In0.35Ga0.65As/GaAs外延层形貌.实验发现,这种460℃低温生长材料的失配外延层既不是层状的FvdM生长模式也不是岛状的SK自组织生长模式,而是由原子单层构成的梯田状大岛.原子力显微镜测试表明台阶的厚度为0.28nm,约为一个原子单层,这种介于层状和岛状生长之间的模式有助于了解失配异质外延的生长过程.

Chloride-based fast homoepitaxial growth of 4H-SiC films in a vertical hot-wall CVD

Chloride-based fast homoepitaxial growth of 4H-SiC epilayers was performed on 4° off-axis 4H-SiC substrates in a home-made vertical hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system using H₂-SiH₄-C₂H₄-HCl. The effect of the SiH₄/H₂ ratio and reactor pressure on the growth rate of 4H-SiC epilayers has been studied successively. The growth rate increase in proportion to the SiH₄/H₂ ratio and the influence mechanism of chlorine has been investigated. With the reactor pressure increasing from 40 to 100 Torr, the growth rate increased to 52 μm/h and then decreased to 47 μm/h, which is due to the joint effect of H₂ and HCl etching as well as the formation of Si clusters at higher reactor pressure. The surface root mean square (RMS) roughness keeps around 1 nm with the growth rate increasing to 49 μm/h. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrate that 96.7 μm thick 4H-SiC layers of good uniformity in thickness and doping with high crystal quality can be achieved. These results prove that chloride-based fast epitaxy is an advanced growth technique for 4H-SiC homoepitaxy.

Enhancement of the surface and structural properties of ZnO epitaxial films grown on Al2O3 substrates utilizing annealed ZnO buffer layers

ZnO films were grown on Al₂O₃ (1000) substrates without and with ZnO buffer layers by using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. Atomic force microscopy images showed that the surface roughness of the ZnO films grown on ZnO buffer layers annealed in a vacuum was decreased, indicative of an improvement in the ZnO surfaces. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the crystallinity of the ZnO thin films was enhanced by using the annealed ZnO buffer layer in comparison with the film grown on without a buffer layer. The improvement of the surface and structural properties of the ZnO films might be attributed to the formation of the Zn-face ZnO buffers due to annealing in a vacuum. These results indicate that the surface and structural properties of ZnO films grown on Al₂O₃ substrates are improved by using ZnO buffer layers annealed in a vacuum.
