Uniform submicron epitaxial films have been prepared by an optimized version of the
ASCl3
, Ga, H2 process. Film requirements and properties of films necessary for high performance
normalGaAs
FET's are discussed. Growth rate dependences of the Ga source and substrate temperature are shown. Growth rate dependence upon the
ASCl3
mole fraction and mass transport effects are shown in the range of interest. Effects of the thermal gradient imposed during deposition are related to the film thickness and doping uniformity obtained with a 5°C/cm and 0.5°/cm process. Vapor doping from
H2S
and Sn‐doped Ga sources is discussed and related to the character of the epitaxial doping profile. Epitaxial films grown by this technique have been produced in the range of 0.2–04µ with variations in film thickness and doping of < ±10%.
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.
