Ay. Polyakov et al., HYDROGEN PASSIVATION EFFECTS IN QUATERNARY SOLID-SOLUTIONS OF INGAASSB LATTICE-MATCHED TO GASB, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 27(2-3), 1994, pp. 137-141
Hydrogen passivation effects in InAs-related and GaSb-related InGaAsSb
layers lattice matched to GaSb have been studied. Strong passivation
of shallow acceptors has been observed and is explained by the assumpt
ion that hydrogen is a deep donor in these materials. The effects of t
he hydrogen treatment mode on the passivation efficiency are also disc
ussed, as well as the changes induced by hydrogen treatment in photolu
minescence spectra of the layers.
