Abstract:
Chlorine auto-doping phenomenon was found for the first time in InP epitaxial growth by using a PCl3/InP/H2 system. Chlorine atoms act as a donor in the epitaxial layer and the carrier concentration is dependent on the facet of InP substrate. The carrier concentration of the InP layer on ( 111)B facet was over 103 times higher than that on (111)A substrate.
