Thermal conversion of GaAs

Abstract: The conversion of semi-insulating GaAs to p type as a result of heat treatment in H2 was studied by photoluminescence (PL), secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), and transport measurements. The SIMS measurements resulted in the direct chemical identification of Mn near the heated surface. The correlation of the SIMS profiles with the results of PL and transport measurements indicated that Mn acceptors are responsible for the type conversion, and that substantial concentrations of Mn(?1017/cm3) are found in t… Show more

“…18 However, impurity contamination can be excluded in this study because we have obtained bulk p-type conversion after only a short annealing process. The concentration and diffusion coefficient of most acceptor impurities are not large enough to cause p-type conduction in such a short annealing time.…”

“…Полученные в настоящей работе результаты подтверждают, что термоконверсия поверхности полуизолирующего GaAs обусловлена в первую очередь миграцией марганца в,приповерхностную область кристалла. На основе [ 7 ] можно сделать вывод, что источником марганца является остаточная фоновая примесь самих кристаллов.…”

“…Энергия термической активации освобождения дырок, определяемая по этим кривым, равна примерно 93 мэВ. Отметим, что эти данные весьма хорошо совпадают с результатами, приведенными в [ 7 ] для объемного кристалла, содержащего Мп, и для термоконверсионной пленки. Вместе с данными по ФЛ, показывающими значительное увеличение концентрации марганца в приповерхностном слое, это позволяет сделать вывод, что появление термоконверсионного слоя в исследуемых нами кристаллах вызвано миграцией марганца в приповерхностный слой [ 7 ].…”

“…This surface-conversion phenomenon has been the subject of intensive study and has been attributed by most workers to an increase in acceptor levels. Various impurities, vacancies, and complexes have been offered as possible candidates for these acceptor levels (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). We show that with suitable care some of these impurities can be avoided, but that in simulated annealing experiments p-conversion can still occur.…”
