AbstractWe present results of Raman-scattering experiments on GaN doped with Si, C, and Mg, respectively, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The influence of the different dopants on strain and free-carrier concentration was investigated. Furthermore, we report on several local vibrational modes (LVM) around 2200 cm-1 in Raman spectra of highly Mg-doped GaN. A possible explanation of these high-energy modes in terms of hydrogen-related vibrations is given. We also found a variety of new structures in the range of the GaN host lattice phonons. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was applied to determine the concentration of magnesium and unintentionally incorporated hydrogen.

ABSTRACTWe report a Raman scattering study of local vibrational modes (LVMs) on Mg-doped GaN grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Besides Mg:Ga local vibrational modes clearly observed at 262 and 565 cm−1, several peaks were detected in the spectral regions around 2200 cm−1 and 2900 cm−1. The modes in the 2200 cm−1 spectral region correspond to local modes of hydrogen complexes and hydrogen-decorated defects, and indicate the presence of a fairly high concentration of H in the samples. The peaks observed in the 2900 cm−1 region are assigned to carbon-hydrogen local modes and are indicative of the presence of C impurities in the samples. These measurements show that both C and H impurities may be present in sizable amounts not only in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) samples but also in MBE grown samples, and this may have an effect on the electrical conductivity ofp-type GaN:Mg samples.

Sn has been used extensively as an n-type dopant in GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The surface accumulation of Sn during the growth of Sn-doped GaAs has been observed by several investigators. It is still not clear whether the accumulation of Sn is a kinetically hindered process, as proposed first by Wood and Joyce, or surface segregation due to thermodynamic factors. The proposed donor-incorporation mechanisms were based on experimental results from such techniques as secondary ion mass spectrometry, Auger electron spectroscopy, and C-V measurements. In the present study, electron microscopy was used in combination with cross-section specimen preparation. The information on the morphology and microstructure of the surface accumulation can be obtained in a fine scale and may confirm several suggestions from indirect experimental evidence in the previous studies.
