Electrical and optical properties of Be doped InP grown at low temperature by solid source atomic layer molecular beam epitaxy

Beryllium-doped InP layers have been grown by solid source atomic layer molecular beam epitaxy at low substrate temperature. The residual n-type doping was reduced by controlling both the amplitude and the length of the phosphorus pulse. We have shown a well controlled p-type doping and obtained a h...

Sumario:Beryllium-doped InP layers have been grown by solid source atomic layer molecular beam epitaxy at low substrate temperature. The residual n-type doping was reduced by controlling both the amplitude and the length of the phosphorus pulse. We have shown a well controlled p-type doping and obtained a hole concentration in the range 4×1017–3×1019 cm−3 at room temperature. The electrical and optical properties of InP layers grown at low temperatures were investigated by Hall effect and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. PL spectra for lightly doped samples have a near band emission at 1.41 eV and Be-related emissions around 1.38 eV.
