摘要
We have grown high purity AlGaAs by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using tertiarybutylarsine (TEA), trimethylgallium, and trimethylaluminum. We have achieved p-type carrier concentrations less than 4 x 10(14) cm(-3) and a mobility of 1015 cm(2)/V . s at 77 K. Photoluminescence measurements at 4 K yielded bound exciton linewidths as narrow as 4.3 meV, the narrowest reported linewidths for AlGaAs grown using TEA. Secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements found C, O, Si, and S concentrations below the instrument detection limits. A two level factorial design was used to investigate the effects of temperature, V/III ratio, and group III partial pressure on the mobility, carrier concentration, and growth rate. High V/III ratios at temperatures between 640-700 degrees C gave the highest quality material. Increasing the V/III ratio caused a decrease in the growth rates of both GaAs and AlGaAs using either arsine or TEA. This dependence can be explained by a competitive adsorption model where excess group V species complete with group III atoms for group III surface sites.
