Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we report laser-assisted chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) of GaAs using triethylgallium (TEGa), tris-dimethylaminoarsenic (TDMAAs), and an ar ion laser operating at visible or ultraviolet (UV) wavelength. the laser-assisted growth with TDMAAs, compared to as4 or asH3, shows a wider range of growth enhancement at low substrate temperatures. Unlike CBE of GaAs without laser irradiation, laser-enhanced GaAs growth rate was found to be constant as the V/III incorporation ratio changes. by using diiodomethane (CI2H2) as a dopant gas, the GaAs films with laser irradiation show a much higher hole concentration than those grown simultaneously without laser irradiation at substrate temperatures from 460-530°C. Laser irradiation was also found to enhance silicon incorporation at low temperatures. Photothermal effects are responsible for laser-enhanced growth and silicon doping, but the wider temperature window in laser-enhanced growth and the laser-enhanced carbon incorporation are caused by additional photocatalytic or photochemical effects.
