摘要
Shallow dopant passivation in AlInAs and InGaP exposed to low power (0.08 W cm-2) deuterium plasmas was investigated by Hall effect and secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements. The carrier concentration in AlInAs was reduced by factors of 3-4 in both Si- and Zn-doped epitaxial layers upon exposure to a D2 plasma at 200-degrees-C. Substantially greater reductions are observed in Si-doped InGaP (500 X reduction) and Be-doped InGaP (15 X reduction) under the same conditions. Complete reactivation of all the passivated dopants occurs in the temperature range 350-425-degrees-C for annealing in inert ambients. By contrast, the use of hydrogen containing ambients during post-plasma annealing enhances the apparent stability of the dopant passivation. The diffusivity of deuterium is greater in p-type layers than in n-type layers for each material.
