Abstract

ABSTRACTAtmospheric OMVPE has been used, with SiH4 as the dopant, to grow n+-GaAs with free-carrier levels upto about 9e18 cm−3. Following a steady rise in carrier concentration with dopant pressure, the carrier concentration is seen to fall rapidly with further doping. Hall-effect and quantitative SIMS data have been used to obtain the distribution of silicon onto donor and acceptor sites. It is seen that there is negligible compensation upto free-carrier levels of about 5e18 cm−3. The mechanism of compensation throughout the doping range is discussed.
