ABSTRACTHigh purity In.53 Ga.47 As and InP with carrier concentrations [ND–NA] < 5×1015 cm−3 has been grown by the LPE technique on both n-type and semi-insulating substrates to detect and identify trace donor and acceptor impurities. Acceptor impurities have been detected in low temperature photoluminescence spectra where LPE melt baking and growth programs indicate a melt origin for two of these species, one of which is zinc. Data from semiconductor profiles provides evidence for sulfur and tin donor impurities, which comes from the rinse melt used to etch back substrates doped with the respective contaminants. Silicon and sulfur contaminants have been detected by SIMS measurements; and may arise not only from the indium and III-V materials, but also the graphite boat used to grow the epilayers. Volatile sulfur-containing compounds have been detected during high temperature bake-out of high purity graphite boats.

Tellurium-doped GaInArSb epitaxial layers with electron concentration in the range of 3 × 1017 – 2 × 1020 cm -3 are grown at 530°C on (100) GaSb substares by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). To dope the layers we used pellets of Sb 3 Te 2 in preparing growth melts. The low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra (20 K) showed a dominant peak composed of three transitions associated to excitons bound to residual acceptor impurities. For highly Te-doped layers the excitonic transitions related to exciton bound to neutral acceptor, BE 2, disappears.

We have recently explored the nature and stability of native defects in high-purity semi-insulating 4H-SiC bulk substrates grown by PVT and HTCVD methods after post-growth anneal treatments up to 2400oC using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) experiments. In the present study we have extended these investigations to SI 4H-SiC subjected to the same post-growth high-temperature anneal treatments, where significantly enhanced carrier lifetimes have been reported for such conditions, but cooled at different rates ranging from ~2-25oC/min. Previously, the intensities of the native defects decreased monotonically with anneals from 1200–1800oC; however, it was recently observed that several of these defects reappear after annealing at 2100oC and above. Our results illustrate the effects of the post-growth anneal treatments and cool-down rates on the concentrations of native defects.
