K. Yoshino et al., PHOTOACOUSTIC SPECTRA OF ZINC SELENIDE THIN-FILMS GROWN BY MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY, Microelectronic engineering, 43-4, 1998, pp. 689-693
Piezoelectric photoacoustic (PPA) measurements of nondoped ZnSe epitax
ial layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are carried out at ro
om temperature. A distinct peak due to the bandgap of ZnSe and substra
te GaAs is clearly observed. The deep level with activation energy of
about 0.65 eV is not successfully resolved from,the nonradiative elect
ron transition point of view. The PPA signals of nondoped ZnSe/GaAs th
in film grown by MBE are successfully observed for the first time. (C)
