Mv. Tagare et al., HEAVY BE DOPING OF GAP AND INXGA1-XP, Journal of vacuum science & technology. B, Microelectronics and nanometer structures processing, measurement and phenomena, 14(3), 1996, pp. 2325-2326
Very high p-type doping is achieved in Gap and InxGa1-xP with Be in so
lid source molecular beam epitaxy equipped with a valved phosphorus cr
acker. Dependence of hole concentration on the growth temperature and
on the Be flux during growth is studied for Gap The hole concentration
peaks at 3 x 10(19) cm(-3) for normal temperature (600 degrees C) gro
wth. It is slightly higher at a lower growth temperature of 400 degree
s C for the same Be flux. A higher hole concentration (5 x 10(19) cm(-
3)) is obtained by giving a high temperature rapid thermal anneal to t
his sample. A hole concentration of 2 x 10(19) cm(-3) is achieved in I
n0.49Ga0.51P by using a lower temperature growth (350 degrees C). To o
ur knowledge, this is the highest reported hole concentration for any
p-type dopant in In0.49Ga0.51P. (C) 1996 American Vacuum Society.
