摘要
By using a novel co-dopant technique in the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process, we have achieved very low deep level densities (N-t<5x10(13) cm(-3)) and improved optical properties in Zn-doped (N-A-N-D=1 x 10(18) cm(-3)) Al0.2Ga0.8As epitaxial layers, This technique employed both p- (Zn) and n-type (Se) dopants in the growth of p-type Al0.2Ga0.8As. Samples were characterized by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS1 and photoluminescence (PL). We have found that a small amount of Se (n similar to 8x10(16)/cm(3)) in Zn-dopgd (p similar to 1x10(18)/cm(-3)) Al0.2Ga0.8As will significantly reduce the density of deep level impurities thy more than one order of magnitude) and increase the photoluminescence efficiency.
