제목 Low Temperature MBE Growth of Mg-doped AlxGa1-xAs Epitaxial Layers and Its properties
초록 Mg doped AlxGa1-xAs epitaxial layers grown at low substrate temperature were studied. The Hall effect and photoluminescence (PL) have been carried out to investigate the electrical properties of the Mg doped AlxGa1-xAs samples. The carrier concentration by Hall measurement of the samples decreased from 1.86 × 1017 to 4.87 × 1014 cm-3 with increase in substrate temperature ranged from 530 to 630 ℃. This can be attributed to dramatically decrease in Mg incorporation on Ⅲ-Ⅴ epilayers with increase in substrate temperature. The PL spectra of the Mg doped Al0.13Ga0.87As samples with the substrate temperature range were redshifted ranging from 1.780 to 1.768 eV when p-type doping level increased. The full width half maximum (FWHM) varied from 9.378 to 11.200 meV as the spectra were redshifted. And also, the electrical and optical properties of the Mg doped AlxGa1-xAs samples are dependent on the Al mole fraction and As/Ga BEP ratio. The properties of the samples were compared with Mg doped GaAs and Be doped AlGaAs layers. Finally, we obtained high quality Mg doped AlxGa1-xAs epitaxial layers even at below 600 ℃ of substrate temperature. Therefore, the Mg as a p-type dopant can be effectively used for nanostructure semiconductors such as quantum dots with growth temperature below 500 ℃.
