Abstract

AlInAs layers lattice matched to InP were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). To assess the influence of the MBE growth temperature T/sub g/ on the layer quality, T/sub g/ was varied in the range of 200 to 580 degrees C. The Schottky contact quality and the deep level properties were studied by capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements and by deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), respectively. Two specific electron traps were detected, where a correlation between the growth temperature and the trap concentration has been established. These two traps, labelled TDE 1 and TDE 2, also appeared in AlInAs material grown by different MBE and MOVPE (metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy) equipment.<>
