Growth conditions have been optimised for Si and C delta-doped AlGaAs at 63
0 degrees C. Very high free carrier densities up to 6 x 10(18) and 3 x 10(1
9) cm(-3), respectively, for Si and C delta-doped AlGaAs, were obtained. Th
e key parameters to precisely control delta-doping concentrations were disc
ussed. Growth of high quality Si and C delta-doped nipi structures, Si delt
a-modulation doped In0.2Ca0.8As/GaAs quantum wells, and high performance Zn
-free C delta-doped In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs GRINSCH lasers were also reported. (C
