Abstract
The properties of rhodium (Rh) as a deep-level dopant in InGaAs lattice matched to InP grown by molecular beam epitaxy are investigated. When InGaAs:Rh is used as an ultrafast photoconductor, carrier lifetimes as short as 100 fs for optically excited electrons are measured. Rh doping compensates free carriers so that a near intrinsic carrier concentration can be achieved. At the same time, InGaAs:Rh exhibits a large electron mobility of 1000 cm2/V s. Therefore, this material is a very promising candidate for application as a semi-insulating layer, THz antenna, or semiconductor saturable absorber mirror.
