Abstract:Undoped, liquid-encapsulated-Czochralski (LEC)-grown, semi-insulating (SI) GaAs crystals were electrically characterized by temperature-dependent Hall effects and conductivity measurements to establish the mechanism for thermally induced surface degradation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to obtain depth profiles of the Ga and As composition, and the nature of the defect complexes and their changes were determined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Boron-related inhomogeneit… Show more
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.
