SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF ZINC-NITROGEN COMPOUNDS FOR THE MOVPE OF P-TYPE ZNSE

Novel nitrogen-based compounds for p-type doping of ZnSe have been stu died, Photoluminescence spectra of epilayers doped with synthesized zi nc amides Zn(NRR')(2) and with corresponding amines HNRR' (R and R' ar e organic ligands) indicate an insufficient stability of the Zn-N bond preventing effective doping of the tested zinc amides. Doping efficie ncy is improved by replacing t-butyl groups (-CMe(3)) of the ligands b y trimethylsilyl groups (-SiMe(3)). Nitrogen incorporation under usual growth conditions remained, however, too low for device applications.
