Abstract

We report for the first time the dopant behavior in laser assisted selective epitaxy of device quality GaAs films. DMZn and H2Se were used as p-type and n-type dopants respectively. Uniform doping was achieved by introducing TMGa, AsH3 and dopant gases simultaneously and was accompanied by a decrease in growth rate for both Zn and Se doping. For planar doping, several Se planes were embedded in a GaAs layer by simultaneously introducing AsH3 and H2Se during the LCVD process. A sheet carrier concentration in the 1012 – 1013 cm−2 range was obtained for a single Se plane. Hall data of these films will be discussed. It was found planar doping results in better electrical properties and better growth rate control.
