ABSTRACTGaAs p+-n+ tunnel diodes have been grown by atmospheric-pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) using zinc as the dopant for the p+ regions and either Se or Si as the dopant for the n+ regions. At a growth temperature of 700° C, using a “cycled” growth for just the Zn-doped p++-GaAs layer both the conductance and the peak current of the tunnel diode has been increased by a factor of ˜65. The conductance of the tunnel diode, maximized at a growth temperature of 650 °C with the cycled growth, is comparable to the best reported values by MBE. Cycled growths for n+ Se-doped regions reduce the tunnel-diode conductance by more than two orders of magnitude. However, the cycled growth for n+-GaAs regions formed with Si doping shows no conductance degradation. A model for these observations is presented.

ABSTRACTThe decompositions of tertiary stibines (R3Sb, R = methyl, vinyl, isopropyl) were studied in an atmospheric pressure flow tube reactor, using D2 and He as carrier gases. D2 was used to isotopically label the byproducts in order to elucidate the pyrolysis mechanism. The exhaust products were analyzed by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The decomposition of these tertiary stibines in the presence of group Ill precursors was studied in order to simulate the conditions of organometallic vapor phase epitaxial growth. A comparison between the pyrolysis temperatures, decomposition mechanisms, and surface area effects of these Sb source compounds is presented.

AbstractThe anti-site defect AsGa, EL-2, is used to understand the nature of arsenic surface species during the Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy(OMVPE) of GaAs. The concentration of EL-2 in unintentionally doped n-GaAs, measured by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy, is presented as a function of AsH3 partial pressure, TMGa partial pressure and the growth temperature. Based on this data, a model for EL-2 incorporation in OMVPE GaAs is developed in which all surface species As-H, are converted to As2 at around 765 ° C. Under the same set of growth conditions, relative carbon levels measured by 4K Photoluminescence, suggest that the increase in carbon levels with growth temperature is due to the gas-phase loss of H radical from the As-H species.
