2. LT-GaAs Introduction:

Низкотемпературный выращиваемые GaAs is the most widely used material for the fabrication of photoconductive THz emitters or detectors. Its unique properties are good carrier mobility, high dark resistivity, and subpicosecond carrier lifetimes.

GaAs, выращенных методом молекулярно-лучевой эпитаксии (МЛЭ) при температурах ниже 300 ° C (LT GaAs) presents a 1%–2% arsenic excess which depends on the growth temperature Tgand on the arsenic pressure during the deposition. As a result a high density of arsenic antisite defects AsGa is produced and forms a donor miniband close to the center of the band gap. The concentration of AsGa increases with decreasing Tg and can reach 1019–1020 cm-3, which leads to a decrease of the resistivity due to hopping conduction. The concentration of ionized donors AsGa+, which are responsible for the fast electron trapping, depends strongly on the concentration of acceptors (gallium vacancies). The LT-MBE grow GaAs samples are then usually thermally annealed: The excess arsenic precipitates into metallic clusters surrounded by depleted regions of As/GaAs barriers which allow one to recover the high resistivity. The role of the precipitates in the fast carrier recombination process is, however, not yet completely clear. Recently, attempts have been made also to dope LT GaAs during the MBE growth with compensating acceptors, namely with Be, in order to increase the number of AsGa+ : the trapping time reduction was observed for heavily doped samples.

8. FAQ of LT-GaAs Wafer

Q1: Can LT-GaAs substrate be passivated? Does washing the surface with ultrasonics have any effect on that layer of low temperature GaAs?

A: The LT-GaAs substrate can do passivation treatment. It is no problem that wash the surface of LT-GaAs with low-power ultrasonic waves.

Q2: I do photolithography to deposit insulating layer, such as SiO2 100 nm, and metal electrode of Cr 10 nm/ Au 100 nm on LT-GaAs wafer. After the fabrication, I inject a pulsed laser to generate a pulsed charge current. This light-to-charge conversion is done at ambient air at room temperature. The device looks good initially, but after several usage the Au electrode part looks bumpy. (I checked it with a microscope.) I guess the bumpy shape is because water molecules that were unintentionally present in between GaAs and SiO2 or between SiO2 and Cr/Au evaporate by the laser-induced heating. Do have any idea to avoid this issue?

A: We haven’t met this situation before, you can bake the LT GaAs substrate before plating metal, but the temperature should be not too high, below 300 degrees. In addition, you need to rinse the film with dilute acid before making the metal process.

Q3: For low-temperature grown GaAs, we need to work under the scanning tunneling microscope, but the resistivity is too large to tunnel. So, is it possible to reduce the resistivity preferably to below 1M ohm/mm of the epitaxial layer (along the surface direction) by doping? There are no requirements for the elements to be doped and the method of doping.

A: The electrical resistivity of LT-GaAs epi thin film would be able to drop below 1M ohm/mm. Specific technology inquiries please contact victorchan@powerwaywafer.com.
