Correlation of defect profiles with carrier profiles of InAs epilayers on GaP
نویسندگان
چکیده
The carrier profile for InAs films grown on GaP is modeled as a first-order approximation which assumes that 90° edge dislocation intersections and the threading dislocation intersections act as shallow donors. Due to dislocation annihilation during growth, the threading dislocation intersection density decreases as the inverse of the distance x from the InAs/GaP interface, D(x)5D0x0 /(x0 1x), where D0 and x0 are dislocation density at the InAs/GaP interface and the first annihilation position from the interface, respectively. The carrier profile in InAs films can be described by a similar equation that is deduced from the threading dislocation intersection profile. The calculated carrier profiles agree well with measured carrier profiles. This correlation supports our hypothesis that both the edge dislocation intersections and the threading dislocation intersections act as shallow donor sources. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1338956#

Behavior of a new ordered structural dopant source in InAs/(001) GaP heterostructures
We report the characteristics of molecular-beam epitaxy grown InAs on highly lattice mismatched ͑001͒ GaP substrates. Strain relaxation in this system occurs at low thickness by the generation of a periodic two-dimensional square grid network of 90° misfit dislocations at the heterointerface. The very high interface dislocation density (ϳ10 13 intersections/cm 2 ͒ exerts a unique influence on the ...

Negative differential resistance has been observed from InAs homojunction light-emitting diodes grown using liquid-phase epitaxy at 455 °C. The devices were characterized using current–voltage sI–Vd and electroluminescence spectroscopy measurements to obtain information about structure defects in InAs. Two distinct negative differential resistance regions were observed in the forward bias I–V c...
متن کاملGrowth temperature dependence of transport properties of InAs epilayers grown on GaP
Undoped InAs was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy directly on GaP at a set of different substrate temperatures. Transport properties were characterized by means of Hall-effect and resistivity measurements at temperatures between 3 and 300 K. It was observed that samples grown at higher temperatures had lower carrier concentrations, consistent with a decrease of ionized defects. In addition, samp...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent transport properties of InAs films grown on lattice-mismatched GaP
Hall effect and electrical resistivity measurements were carried out on undoped InAs thin films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy directly on ~001! GaP substrates. The large lattice mismatch between these two compounds results in a high density array of misfit dislocations at the heterointerface and threading dislocations in the InAs epilayer. The threading dislocation density varies with epilaye...
