AbstractEpitaxial films of ferromagnetic τMnAl with perpendicular magnetization have been grown on {100}AlAs/GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. A multistep growth procedure involving the formation of a template followed by codeposition and subsequent annealing yields thin epitaxial τMnA1 films that exhibit the extraordinary Hall effect with nearly ideal hysteretic characteristics.

ABSTRACTLow energy (100 eV) impinging of carbon (C+) ions was made during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of GaAs using combined ion beam and molecular beam epitaxy (CIBMBE) technologies for the growth temperature ( Tg ) between 500 °C and 590 °C. 2 K photoluminescence (PL), Raman scattering and Hall effect measurements were made for the samples. In the PL spectra two specific emissions, “g” and [g-g], were observed which are closely associated with acceptor impurities. PL and Hall effect measurements indicate that C atoms were very efficiently introduced during MBE growth by CIBMBE and were both optically and electrically well activated as acceptors even at Tg=500 °C. The results reveal that defect-free impurity doping without subsequent annealing can be achieved by CIBMBE method.

AbstractThe simultaneous molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of (100) and (110) GaAs/GaAsintentionally doped with Si(∼lE16/cm^3) was studied as a function of substrate temperature, arsenic overpressure, and epitaxial growth rate. The films wereanalyzed by scanning electron and optical microscopy, liquid helium photoluminescence (PL), and electronic characterization.For the (110) epitaxal layers, an increase in morphological defect density and degradation of PL signal was observed with a lowering of the substrate temperature from 570C. Capacitance-voltage (CV) and Hall Effect measurements yield room temperature donor concentrations for the (100) films of n∼l5/cm^3 while the (110) layers exhibit electron concentrations of n∼2El7/cm^3. Hall measurements at 77K on the (100) films show the expected mobility enhancement of Si donors, whereas the (110) epi layers become insulating or greatly compensated. This behavior suggests that room temperature conduction in the (110) films is due to a deeper donor partially compensated by an acceptor level whose concentration is of the same order of magnitude as that of any electrically active Si. Temperature dependent Hall effect indicates that the activation energy of the deeper donor level lies ∼290 meV from the conduction band. PL and Hall effect indicate that the better quality (110) material is grown by increasingthe arsenic flux during MBE growth. The nature of the defects involved with the growth process will be discussed.

Gallium antimonide (GaSb) is considered an ideal substrate for heterostructure growth via molecular beam epitaxy. A significant aspect that inhibits the widespread application of infrared plane-array detector growth on GaSb is the starting substrate surface quality. In this study, the chemical mechanical polishing of GaSb wafers is investigated by considering the effects of the polishing pad, polishing solution, polishing time and pH buffer on their surface morphology and roughness. The surface morphology and root mean square (RMS) roughness of the free-standing wafers are characterized using a white light interferometer, a laser interferometer and an atomic force microscope. X-ray tomography is employed to measure the surface crystalline quality and strain defects of the samples subjected to the polishing treatments. The results show that with the optimum polishing condition, the polished GaSb wafers demonstrate high-quality surfaces without haze, scratches or strain defect regions. The peak to valley value is 5.0 μm and the RMS roughness can be controlled at less than 0.13 nm. A buffer layer grown on the GaSb surface with molecular beam epitaxy is examined via atomic force microscopy and high-resolution X-ray diffraction, which show a low RMS roughness of 0.159 nm, a well-controlled two-dimensional growth mode and a full width half maximum of the Bragg diffraction peak of 14.2”, indicating high-quality GaSb wafers. Thus, this work provides useful guidelines for achieving GaSb wafers with high-quality surfaces that show significant promise for substrate applications.
