Application of the point-defect analysis technique to zinc doping of MOCVD indium phosphide
نویسنده
چکیده
Epitaxial layers of p-type indium phosphide (InP) have been grown by low pressure, metal organic chemical vapour deposition (LP-MOCVD) using diethylzinc (DEZn) as the p-dopant source. Proposed zinc-associated InP point defects and experimental DEZn doping data were used to formulate a point-defect equilibrium model of the Zn doping process of MOCVD InP. The model equation is contrasted with the experimental data and this comparison provides insight into the DEZn doping mechanism of InP on the atomic level.

Intrinsic Defects and Dopability of Zinc Phosphide
Zinc Phosphide (Zn3P2) could be the basis for cheap and highly efficient solar cells. Its use in this regard is limited by the difficulty in n-type doping the material. In an effort to understand the mechanism behind this, the energetics and electronic structure of intrinsic point defects in zinc phosphide are studied using generalized Kohn-Sham theory and utilizing the Heyd, Scuseria, and Ernz...
متن کاملStrain-Compensated InGaAsP Superlattices for Defect Reduction of InP Grown on Exact-Oriented (001) Patterned Si Substrates by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition
We report on the use of InGaAsP strain-compensated superlattices (SC-SLs) as a technique to reduce the defect density of Indium Phosphide (InP) grown on silicon (InP-on-Si) by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Initially, a 2 μm thick gallium arsenide (GaAs) layer was grown with very high uniformity on exact oriented (001) 300 mm Si wafers; which had been patterned in 90 nm V-groo...

متن کاملMicrosecond infrared beam bending in photorefractive iron doped indium phosphide
A time resolved study of the behavior of a single beam in photorefractive iron doped indium phosphide is provided down to the microsecond range, showing that infrared beam bending does occur on the micro-second time scale for moderate beam intensities. Two distinct time scales are evidenced, the behavior of which are the sign of two different photorefractive mechanisms.
