ABSTRACTA comparison of dimethylethylamine alane (DMEAA) and trimethylamine alane (TMAA) as aluminum sources and CBr4 and CC14 as carbon doping sources for deposition of AlAs by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) has been carried out. DMEAA was found to produce the lowest oxygen levels in AlAs, 5 x 1017 cm-3 VS. 1021 cm-3 for TMAA, even at growth temperatures as low as 500°C. This reduction is likely due to the absence of oxygenated solvents used during synthesis of the DMEAA. Undoped films grown from either source were fully depleted as-grown. Through the use of CBr 4, hole concentrations up to 4.5x1019 cm-3 were achieved in AlAs layers grown fiom DMEAA. Attempts to increase the hole concentration beyond this level resulted in a decrease in the hole concentration even though SIMS analysis showed the carbon concentration to increase with increasing dopant flow. Though the carbon sources did not appear to introduce additional oxygen, they appear to introduce other impurities, such as Cl and Br. Also, due to parasitic etching reactions with the adsorbed halogen, the use of these sources reduces the Al incorporation rate.

ABSTRACTHeterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are becoming increasingly important for highspeed electronic applications. This paper will discuss how the unique growth chemistry of metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) can be used to produce high performance HBTs. For example, it has been well documented that MOMBE's ability to grow heavily doped, well-confined layers of either n- or p-type is a significant advantage for this device. This feature arises primarily from the ability to use gaseous dopant sources in the absence of interfacial gas boundary layers. While this is an advantage for doping, it can be a disadvantage in other areas such as AlGaAs purity or InGaP lattice matching. This paper will discuss how these difficulties can be overcome through the use of novel Al or Ga precursors thus allowing deposition of high quality GaAs-based HBTs. By using trimethylamine alane (TMAA), background impurity concentrations can be reduced substantially. Further improvements in purity require cleaner Ga precursors or alternatively novel Ga substitutes. The resulting reduction in compensation allows for the use of lower dopant concentrations in the AlGaAs thus producing significant improvement in the leakage behavior of the base-emitter junction. Even further improvement can be achieved through the use of InGaP. Using novel Ga precursors, such as tri-isobutylgallium (TIBG), the problems associated with the sensitivity of composition to growth temperature are greatly reduced, allowing for the reproducible deposition of devices containing InGaP emitter layers.

AbstractGaAs1–xPx (0.2 <; x < 0.7) was grown by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy with a GaP buffer layer on Si for visible light-emitting devices. Insertion of the GaP buffer layer resulted in bright photoluminescence of the GaAsP epilayer. Pre-treatment of the Si substrate to avoid SiC formation was also critical to obtain good crystallinity of GaAsP. Dislocation formation, microstructure and photoluminescence in GaAsP grown layer are described. A GaAsP pn junction fabricated on GaP emitted visible light (˜1.86 eV). An initial GaAsP pn diode fabricated on Si emitted infrared light.
