Application of the hydride growth process at overall pressures below 5x103 Pa yields very high rates of deposition for binary (GaAs, InP) and ternary (GaInAs, GaAsP) III-V semiconductor films. It is proposed that at these conditions the hydrides AsH3 and PH3 reach the substrate surface undecomposed and react directly with the group III chloride (GaCl, InCl). The rates can be convenently adjusted over a wide range by varying the reactant pressures. Films of excellent morphology with low background doping, high electron mobilities and well resolved PL spectra were obtained
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
