摘要
We present a Maxwell-Boltzmann electron energy distribution based model for the incorporation rate of nitrogen into GaInNAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using a radio frequency plasma source. Nitrogen concentration is predicted as a function of radio-frequency system primary resistance, N flow, and RF power, and group III growth rate. The semi-empirical model is shown to be repeatable with a maximum error of 6%. The model was validated for two different MBE systems by growing GaInNAs on GaAs(100) with variable nitrogen composition of 0%-6%. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
