ELECTRON ACCUMULATION AT THE n-ZnSe/n-GaAs INTERFACE

چکیده
Evidence for electron accumulation in the ZnSe side of n-ZnSe/n-GaAs heterostructures is presented. An n-GaAs buffer layer, approximately 1 pm thick, grown with low 1015 electronic concentration on a semi-insulating (100) GaAs substrate is fully depleted of electrons when an additional epilayer of nZnSe is grown on top of it. The n-GaAs epilayer electron concentration is restored when the ZnSe is removed by selective etching. The corresponding conductance of the n-ZnSe decreases logarithmically with temperature, going over to activated conduction below 6 K due to strong localization, a characteristic of a

Effects of D-Doping on Characteristics of AlAs/GaAs Barriers Grown by Mba at 400 ??C
Effects of d-doping on barriers effective heights and series resistance of highly doped n-type GaAs/AIAs/GaAs/AlAs/GaAs heterostructures, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at 400?°C, have been studied. As it was expected, inclusion of an n+ d-doped layer at each hetero-interface has reduced the barriers heights and series resistance of the structure significantly, while p+ d-doped layers ha...
متن کاملRaman Spectroscopic Studies of ZnSe/GaAs Interfaces
ZnSe/semi-insulating GaAs interfaces have been studied by observing Photogenerated plasmon – LO (PPL) coupled modes by non-resonant microRaman spectroscopy. The effect of the carriers generated by the focused laser beam was investigated for a series of different thicknesses of ZnSe epitaxial layers. The PPL mode in GaAs is observed in micro-Raman spectra for all samples, but with different magn...
متن کاملTEM investigation of nucleation and initial growth of ZnSe nanowires
Single crystalline ZnSe nanowires were fabricated on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy technique via Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid reaction. The nucleation and initial growth of the nanowires were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It was revealed that Au catalysts initially reacted with the substrate forming binary AuGa2 alloy droplets. The sizes of the...
متن کاملLow interface state density oxide-GaAs structures fabricated by in situ molecular beam epitaxy
Several oxide-GaAs heterostructures were fabricated using in situ multiple-chamber molecular beam epitaxy. The oxides include SiO2, MgO, and Ga2O3~Gd2O3!, all evaporated by an electron beam method. The SiO2 and Ga2O3~Gd2O3! films are amorphous while the MgO films are crystalline and part of the films are epitaxially grown on GaAs~100!. Among these heterostructures, the Ga2O3~Gd2O3!–GaAs shows a...
متن کاملX-RAY DIFFRACTION CHARACTERIZATION OF MOVPE ZnSe FILMS DEPOSITED ON (100) GaAs USING CONVENTIONAL AND HIGH-RESOLUTION DIFFRACTOMETERS
ZnSe-based heterostructures grown on GaAs substrates have been investigated for use in pindiode LED applications. ZnSe has a large band gap, 2.76 eV, as well as a near lattice match to GaAs, 5.6688 Å vs. 5.6538 Å, respectively. In this study a metallorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) deposition technique is used to produce doped and undoped thin films of ZnSe on (100) GaAs. Understanding the e...
