Abstract
AbstractHigh quality of Si-doped n-type MBE GaAs grown directly on 4° off (001) towards [0111 Si substrates has been achieved by a multiple step MBE growth procedure. Epilayers have been characterized for the doping range 2x1016 to 3x1018cm-3 with thickness up to lOm by double crystal x-ray rocking curves, Hall mobilities, photoluminescence spectra, dislocation etching pit densities and I-V characteristics of MESFET of GaAs/Si. The results show that the electron mobilities are 2900 to 1430cm2 /Vs while free electron concentration of 3.5x1017 to 2.7x1018cm-3. The FWHM of the DCRC are 175 to 350 arc sec, the EPD are 1x106 to 2x107 cm-2 for most of samples and both of them appear variation with thickness of epilayer. The main peak of PL appears a few meV shift to long wavelength in comparison with GaAs on GaAs. The FWHM of the PL are 21 meV for n-type GaAs/Si in a doping level of 3.5x1017cm-3. MESFET show a acceptable I-V characteristics. All of epilayers with thickness less than 5pm appear good morphology. Some slightly orthogonal cracking was observed in the 5 to 10µm thick films of GaAs/Si.
