L. Pavesi et al., A COMPARISON OF SI-DOPED (100), (111)A, (111)B AND (311)B ALXGA1-XAS SAMPLES GROWN BY MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY, Semiconductor science and technology, 10(1), 1995, pp. 49-55
Hall and photoluminescence measurements of Si-doped Al0.3Ga0.7As sampl
es grown by molecular beam epitaxy on high index surfaces are reported
. These data are compared with structures grown on the conventional (1
00) orientation. All the samples measured in this work have been grown
under identical conditions. For (100), (111)B and (311)B Al(x)Ga1-xAs
we found an n-type doping while for (111)A Al(x)Ga1-xAs the doping wa
s p-type. The growth parameters used are the optimum ones for (100) Al
(x)Ga1-xAs. Growth under these conditions does not produce high qualit
y (111)A or (111)B Al(x)Ga1-xAs. However, the (311)B Al(x)Ga1-xAs samp
les show comparable characteristics to (100) Al(x)Ga1-xAs samples.
