Abstract

The anti-site defect AsGa, EL-2, is used to understand the nature of arsenic surface species during the Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy(OMVPE) of GaAs. The concentration of EL-2 in unintentionally doped n-GaAs, measured by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy, is presented as a function of AsH3 partial pressure, TMGa partial pressure and the growth temperature. Based on this data, a model for EL-2 incorporation in OMVPE GaAs is developed in which all surface species As-H, are converted to As2 at around 765 ° C. Under the same set of growth conditions, relative carbon levels measured by 4K Photoluminescence, suggest that the increase in carbon levels with growth temperature is due to the gas-phase loss of H radical from the As-H species.
