This work studied the regulation of hole concentration and mobility in p-InGaN layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) under an N-rich environment. By adjusting the growth temperature, the hole concentration can be controlled between 6 × 1017/cm3 and 3 × 1019/cm3 with adjustable hole mobility from 3 to 16 cm2/V.s. These p-InGaN layers can meet different requirements of devices for hole concentration and mobility. First-principles defect calculations indicate that the p-type doping of InGaN at the N-rich limiting condition mainly originated from Mg substituting In (MgIn). In contrast with the compensation of nitrogen vacancy in p-type InGaN grown in a Ga-rich environment, the holes in p-type InGaN grown in an N-rich environment were mainly compensated by interstitial Mg (Mgi), which has very low formation energy.

ABSTRACTGaInAsSb/GaSb heterostructures have been grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The optical properties were characterized using low temperature(71K) photoluminescence(PL) and infrared transmission spectroscopy. The FWHM of the typical PL spectrum peaked at 2.3μm is 30meV. Hall measurement results for undoped GaInAsSb layers are presented showing a p-type background and low hole concentration of 6.5 × 1015cm−3. The room temperature performances of the p-GaInAsSb/n-GaSb photodiodes are reported. Its responsivity spectrum is peaked at 2.2 5μm and cuts off at 1.7μm in the short wavelength and at 2.4μm in the long wavelength, respectively. The room temperature detectivity D* is of 1 × 109cm.Hz1/2.W−2

AbstractMg-doped GaN films with a variety of Mg concentrations were grown on sapphire (0001) by horizontal atmospheric metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system with three layered laminar flow gas injection in an attempt to study the Mg doping effects on film quality. The increase of Mg concentration induced an increase of x-ray rocking curve full width at half maximum (FWHM) and degradation of surface morphology. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis shows increase of Si and O, associated with Mg-doping concentration. Si and O concentrations of Mg-doped film are up to 5×1016cm−3 and 5×1017cm−3 at Mg concentration of 4.5×1019cm−3, respectively. Strong 380nm emission and weak 430nm emission were observed by photoluminescence (PL) measurement at room temperature for as-grown Mg-doped GaN films which shows p-type conductivity after thermal annealing. While, in highliy Mg-doped GaN films which do not show the p-type conduction after thermal annealing, 430nm and/or 450nm emission were dominating. The highest room temperature free hole concentration achieved was p=2.5× 1018cm−3 with mobility μp=l.9cm2/V s.

AbstractAlN is one of the third-generation semiconductor materials with wide application prospects due to its 6.2 eV band gap. In the application of semiconductor deep ultraviolet lasers, progress is slow due to the difficulty in obtaining p-type AlN with good performance. In this paper, the commonly used way of Mg directly as AlN dopant is abandoned, the inhibition effect of the B component on self-compensation of AlN crystal was studied. The improvement of self-compensation performance of AlN crystal by B component is studied by first principles calculation. The results show that the addition of B component can increase the hole concentration of AlN, which is conducive to the formation of p-type AlN.

Codoping Method

Various Be:O-codoped AlN crystals have been investigated via first-principles calculations to evaluate the role of the different combinations in effectively and efficiently inducing p-type carriers. It is found that the O atom is favored to bond with two Be atoms. The formed Be2:O complexes decrease the acceptor ionization energy to 0.11 eV, which is 0.16 eV lower than that of an isolated Be in AlN, implying that the hole concentration could probably be increased by 2–3 orders of magnitude. The electronic structure of Be2:O-codoped AlN shows that the lower ionization energy can be attributed to the interaction between Be and O. The Be–O complexes, despite failing to induce p-type carriers for the mutual compensation of Be and O, introduce new occupied states on the valence-band maximum (VBM) and hence the energy needed for the transition of electrons to the acceptor level is reduced. Thus, the Be2:O codoping method is expected to be an effective and efficient approach to realizing p-type AlN.

ABSTRACTWe present results of a study on the effect of unprecracked arsine(AsH3) and trimethylgallium(TMGa) on carbon incorporation in UHVCVD(Ultra High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition) grown GaAs epilayers on GaAs(100). Three distinct temperature-dependent regions of growth rates were identified as growth temperature was increased from 570 to 690°C. The growth rates were also strongly dependent on V/III ratio in a range of 5 to 30, which clearly indicates that the growth rate is determined by the amount of arsenic adsorbed on the surface at low V/III ratio and adsorption of TMGa or decomposition process at high V/III ratio. Hall concentration measurements and low temperature photoluminescence data show that the films are all p-type and their impurity concentrations are reduced by two orders of magnitude compared to those of epilayers grown by CBE(Chemical Beam Epitaxy) which employs TMGa and arsenic(precracked arsines) as source materials. Our results indicate that the hydrogen atoms dissociated from adsorbed arsine may remove hydrocarbon species resulting in a significant drop in hole concentration.

ABSTRACTP-type doping of cubic GaN by carbon is reported with maximum hole concentration of 2 6.1×1018cm-3and hole mobility of 23.5 cm /Vs at room temperature, respectively. The cubic GaN:C was grown by rf-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) under Ga-rich growth conditions on a semiinsulating GaAs (001) substrate (3 inches wafer). E-beam evaporation of a graphite rode with an C-flux of 1×1012cm-2s-1was used for C-doping of the c-GaN. Optical microscopy, Hall-effect measurements and photoluminescence were performed to investigate the morphological, electrical and optical properties of cubic GaN:C. Under Ga-rich growth conditions most part of the carbon atoms were incorporated substitutially on N-site giving p-type conductivity. Our results verify that effective p-type doping of c-GaN can be achieved under extrem Ga excess.

AbstractWe report on metal organic chemical vapor deposition growth of GaMnN/p-GaN/n-GaN multilayer structures and manipulation of room temperature (RT) ferromagnetism (FM) in a GaMnN layer. The GaMnN layer was grown on top of a n-GaN substrate and found to be almost always paramagnetic. However, when grown on a p-type GaN layer, a strong saturation magnetization (Ms) was observed. Ms was almost doubled after annealing demonstrating that the FM observed in GaMnN film is carrier-mediated. To control the hole concentration of the p-GaN layer by depletion, GaMnN/p-GaN/n-GaN multilayer structures of different p-GaN thickness (Xp) were grown on sapphire substrates. We have demonstrated that the FM depends on the Xp and the applied bias to the GaN p-n junction. The FM of these multilayer is independent on the top GaMnN layer thickness (tGaMnN) for tGaMnN >200 nm and decreases for tGaMnN < 200 nm. Thus the room temperature FM of GaMnN i-p-n structure can also be controlled by changing Xp and tGaMnN in the GaMnN i-p-n structures.
