AbstractPseudodielectric functions of low temperature grown GaAs (LT GaAs) measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry are presented. The spectral range includes the El (2.92eV) and El+ΔAl (3.13eV) critical point structure of GaAs. A Lorentz-oscillator model was used to fit the dielectric function of LT GaAs for samples with nominal growth temperatures (Tg) varying from 200°C to 580°C. For Tg of 200°C, 30% and 19% broadenings and −0.01 leV and −0.007eV red shifts were found for the El and El+Δl structures respectively, compared with normal GaAs. The red shift can be explained in terms of a strain effect in the LT layer. In annealed LT GaAs the broadening decreased significantly and no red shift was found.

ABSTRACTDC characteristics of a GaAs MISFET structure using low-temperature GaAs (LTGaAs) as the gate insulator were investigated. MISFETs with different gate to channel separation (d) were fabricated. The dependence of four important device parameters such as gate-drain breakdown voltage (VBR), channel current at zero gate bias (Idss), transconductance (gm), and gate-drain turn-on voltage (Von) on the gate insulator thickness were analyzed. It was observed that (a) in terms of Idss and gin, the LT-GaAs gate insulator behaves like an undoped regular GaAs layer and (b) in terms of VBR and Von, the LT-GaAs gate insulator behaves as a trap dominated layer.

ABSTRACTWe present here the results of a study on the effect of substrate temperature, Ts, on the electrical and physical characteristics of low temperature (LT) molecular beam epitaxy GaAs layers. Hall measurements have been performed on the asgrown samples and on samples annealed at 610 °C and 850 °C. Si implantation into these layers has also been investigated.

ABSTRACTIn this work we demonstrate that photopumped quantum wellheterostructure lasers with excellent optical quality can be grown ontop of a LT GaAs buffer layer by molecular beam epitaxy. Hightemperature thermal annealing of these lasers blue-shifts the laseremission wavelengths but the presence/absence of a LT GaAs layerhad little effect on the overall laser thresholds. Also, to first order itwas not necessary to include an AlAs barrier layer to preventadverse effects (as has been necessary in the gate stack of MESFETs to prevent carrier compensation).

AbstractThe lateral thermal oxidation process of Al0.98Ga0.02As layers has been studied by transmission electron microscopy. Growing a low-temperature GaAs layer below the Al0.98Ga0.02As has been shown to result in better quality of the oxide/GaAs interfaces compared to reference samples. While the later have As precipitation above and below the oxide layer and roughness and voids at the oxide/GaAs interface, the structures with low-temperature have less As precipitation and develop interfaces without voids. These results are explained in terms of the diffusion of the As toward the low temperature layer. The effect of the addition of a Si02 cap layer is also discussed.

ABSTRACTWe present the real-time pseudodielectric function <ε(E)> of low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) thin films during the growth as a function of growth temperature Tg and thickness. We obtained accurate measurements of the real-time <εc(E)> by using in situspectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) in conjunction with active feedback control of the substrate temperature using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. We show that for epitaxial LT-GaAs layers, the peak in the imaginary pseudodielectric function <ε2(E)> decreases in amplitude and sharpness systematically with decreasing Tg. We also revealed an abrupt change in <εc(E)> near the critical epitaxial thickness hepi, the value of which decreases with decreasing Tg. Above hepi, the LT-GaAs grows polycrystalline (amorphous) above (below) Tg ∼ 190°C. We also simultaneously monitored the surface roughness and crystallinity by using real-time reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). These results represent progress in obtaining real-time control over the composition and morphology of LT-GaAs

ABSTRACTWe report on the development of a new, integrable photoconductive-type detector based on low-temperature-grown GaAs. The detector has a response time of 1.2 ps and a 3-dB bandwidth of 375 GHz. The responsivity is 0.1 A/W. This is the fastest photodetector reported to date. We discuss the unique properties of this device, including its performance as functions of both light intensity and bias voltage.
