ABSTRACTThe effects of In and Sb on the concentration of electron traps in MBE grown n-type GaAs are investigated. Two traps, labeled M3 and M6, dominate the DLTS spectrum. It is observed that at growth temperatures of 500 and 550° C their concentrations can be reduced by up to two orders of magnitude by the introduction of a few atomic percent of either In or Sb. The percent In or Sb producing the lowest trap concentrations decreases with increasing substrate temperature and thus for a substrate growth temperature of 600° C no additional improvement in the deep trap concentration is observed.

ABSTRACTWe present here the results of a study on the effect of substrate temperature, Ts, on the electrical and physical characteristics of low temperature (LT) molecular beam epitaxy GaAs layers. Hall measurements have been performed on the asgrown samples and on samples annealed at 610 °C and 850 °C. Si implantation into these layers has also been investigated.

AbstractThin (<200Å), epitaxial CoSi2 films have been grown on (111) Siwafers in a UHV system using a variety of growth techniques including solid phase epitaxy (SPE), reactive deposition epitaxy (RDE), and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). SEN and TEN studies reveal significant variations in the epitaxial silicide surface morphology as a function of the sillciqd formation method. Pinhole densities are generally greater than 107 cm-2, although some reduction can be achieved by utilizing proper growth techniques. Si epilayers were deposited over the CoSi2 films inthe temperature range from 550ºC to 800ºC, and the reesuulttinng structures have been characterized using SEM, cross—sectional TEN, and ion channeling measurements. These measurements show that the Si epitaxial quality increases with growth temperature, although the average Si surface roughness and the CoSi2 pinhole density also increase as the growth temperature is raised.

AbstractAn increasingly important application of thin film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (α-Si:H) is in infrared detection for microbolometer thermal imaging arrays. Such arrays consist of thin α-Si:H films that are integrated into a floating thermally isolated membrane structure. Among the α-Si:H material properties affecting the design and performance of microbolometers is the microstructure. In this work, Raman spectroscopy is used to study changes in the microstructure of protocrystalline p-type α-Si:H films grown by PECVD as substrate temperature, dopant concentration, and hydrogen dilution are varied. The films exhibit the four Raman spectral peaks corresponding to the TO, LO, LA, and TA modes. It is found that the TO Raman peak becomes increasingly well defined (decreasing line width and increasing intensity), and shifts towards the crystalline TO energy as substrate temperature is increased, H dilution of the reactants is increased, or as dopant concentration is decreased.

ABSTRACTWe have focused to grow cubic GaN (c-GaN) on Si(100) substrates using boronmonophosphide (BP) buffer crystals. The growth of GaN was carried out by MOVPE on BP/Si(100) substrate of 2 inches in diameter. By the several evaluations, it was recognized that when the growth temperature is around 750˚C, c-GaN was dominant. The typical growth rate was about 0.5μm/h. We obtained c-GaN layer over 2.5μm thick without cracking.

ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated growth of high quality single crystal CoGa films on Ga1−xAlxAs. These films were fabricated in-situ by codeposition of Co and Ga on MBE grown Ga1−xAlxAs(100) surfaces. The elemental composition of the films was determined using Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) and in-situ Auger analysis. The structural quality of the films' surfaces was studied using RHEED (during deposition) and LEED (post deposition). RBS channeling was used to determine the bulk crystalline quality of these films.For ∼500 Å CoGa films grown at ∼450°C substrate temperature, channeling data showed good quality epitaxial single crystals [χmin ∼7%] with minimal dechanneling at the interface.

ABSTRACTWurtzite GaN films on AlN buffer layers were grown on Si (111) by electron cyclotron resonance microwave plasma assisted MBE (ECR-MBE). High resolution x-ray diffraction studies indicate that the mosaic disorder decreases with increasing growth temperature. The grain size is related to the growth temperature. The best (0002) diffraction peak full width at half maximum was 22 min. for a film 1.7 μm thick. Prominent exciton luminescence is observed at 3.46 eV at 10 K.The plasma I-V characteristics were measured with a Langmuir probe near the growth position. The nitrogen ion density has been extracted from the data, and is a strong function of the N2 flow rate, the microwave power and the aperture size of the ECR source. The crystal quality of AlN is strongly affected by the plasma conditions.
