Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we report chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) of GaAs, and for the first time, Arion laser-assisted CBE using triethylgallium (TEGa) and tris-dimethylaminoarsenic (TDMAAs), a safer alternative to arsine. Samples grown at substrate temperatures above 490° C show n-type conduction, while those grown at lower temperatures show p-type conduction. An unintentional doping concentration of n∼lx1016 cm-3 with an electron mobility of 5200 cm2/V.s at 300 K and 16000 cm2/V.s at 77 K have been achieved. These are the best results reported for GaAs grown with TDMAAs. Laser-assisted CBE of GaAs is studied in the substrate temperature range of 240-550°C. There are two different substrate-temperature regions for laser-enhanced growth, 265 to 340°C and 340 to 440°C, which are believed to be caused by different TEGa decomposition mechanisms. The laser-assisted growth with TDMAAs, compared to AS4 or AsH3, shows a wider range of growth enhancement at low substrate temperatures.
