Investigation of MOVPE growth of silicon delta -doped GaAs, AlAs and AlxGa1
-xAs epilayers and different methods used for their characterisation are pr
esented. The epitaxial structures were grown in an atmospheric pressure hor
izontal AIX 200 Aixtron reactor. Delta doping was formed by SiH, introducti
on during the growth interruption. The influence of the growth temperature
and AlxGa1-xAs composition on delta-doping characteristics, carrier concent
ration and mobility is discussed. Properties of the investigated Si delta -
doped structures were examined using capacitance -voltage measurements, Van
der Pauw-Hall measurements (300K, 77K), photocurrent measurements, photore
flectance spectroscopy and X-ray measurements.
