The Si-doped planar GaAs NWs are grown in a selective lateral epitaxy manner via Au-assisted vapor–liquid–so...

Precipitation processes in the p-type, n-type, and intrinsic GaAs layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy at a low tempera ture were studied by transmission electron microscopy. The average spacing, average diameter, and volume fraction of precipitates were measured as a function of the annealing time for the annealing tempera ture of 700~ Volume fractions of precipitates are nearly constant in ...

We have measured the transport and quantum mobility in Si delta doped samples as a function of the doping concentration and the thickness of the doping layer. The results are compared with mobility calculations which show that the ionized impurity scattering rate is determined by the fluctuations in the charge distribution of the delta layer instead of the full charge distribution itself.

The doping profile in different n-doped GaAs homoepitaxial structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated in the time domain by employing a laser based picosecond ultrasound technique in a contactless and noninvasive way. Experiments based on asynchronous optical sampling employ two femtosecond lasers, which allow us to detect changes in the optical reflectivity over a 1 ns time del...

Samples of GaAs 8-doped with beryllium have been studied with photoluminescence. With a lightly doped sample, (2 x 1016 Be atoms per m2) a spectral feature is observed which can be interpreted as caused by radiative recombinations between spatially non-confined conductionband electrons and acceptor-related holes forming a miniband system confined spatially to the &doped region. With higher dens...

This work provides comparative studies of a double -doped Al0.3Ga0.7As/InxGa1−xAs/GaAs symmetrically graded x = 0.15 → 0.2 → 0.15 doped-channel field-effect transistor DD-DCFET with respect to a conventional double -doped pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor pHEMT and a conventional DCFET structure. All threes samples, grown by the low-pressure metallorganic chemical vapor deposition...

The effect of two different dopants, P and Ga, in spin-on glass ~SOG! films on impurity-free vacancy disordering ~IFVD! in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well structures has been investigated. It is observed that by varying the annealing and baking temperatures, P-doped SOG films created a similar amount of intermixing as the undoped SOG films. This is different from the results of other studies of P-dope...

The recombination properties of directly doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) for application in quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) have been investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence. Compared with undoped and barrier-doped samples, the overall effect of direct dot doping is found to be small, resulting in only slight deterioration of dot homogeneity. Low-temperature photolumine...

The band ordering of semiconductors is an important factor in determining the mobility and coherence of the wave function of carriers, and is thus a key factor in device performance. However, in heavily doped semiconductors, the impurities substantially disturb the band ordering, leading to significant degradation in performance. Here, we present the unexpected finding that the band ordering is...
