Kd. Glinchuk et Av. Prokhorovich, GENERATION OF VGATEASVAS COMPLEXES IN TELLURIUM-DOPED N-TYPE GAAS BY LOW-TEMPERATURE ANNEALING, Crystal research and technology, 32(6), 1997, pp. 837-842
It is shown that loci-temperature annealing (T = 425 to 625 degrees C,
t greater than or equal to 0.5 h) of tellurium-doped n-type GaAs crys
tals (n(0) = 2 x 10(18) cm(-3)) leads to a generation of VGaTeAsVAs co
mplexes as a result of a diffusion of arsenic vacancies to VGaTeAs com
plexes or arsenic and gallium vacancies to isolated tellurium atoms. T
he observed regularities of generation of VGaTeAsVAs complexes as the
annealing temperature and the annealing time are varied are well expla
ined by the proposed model of diffusion-limited formation of VGaTeAsVA
s complexes.
