摘要
Zn diffusivity, D-Zn in heavily doped pnpn GaAs structures has been measured after growth and annealing. During growth at 650 degrees C, D-Zn similar to 10(-12) cm(2)/s in the buried p-type layer is found to be >10(4) X D-Zn in the top p-type layer. During annealing at 800 degrees C, D(Zn)approximate to 5 X 10(-14) cm(2)/s in the buried layer remains orders of magnitude larger than D-Zn in the top layer. The measurements provide clear experimental evidence that (1) a large flux of Ga interstitials, I-Ga, is injected from the surface during the growth of n-type layers, (2) the I-Ga are trapped in the buried p-type layer by the electric field of the pn junctions, and are thus positively charged, (3) the resulting large concentration of I-Ga in the buried layer accounts for the enhanced D-Zn via a kick-out mechanism, and (4) the mobile Zn interstitial is positively charged.
