Use of In-Zn-As Ternary Sources for the Diffusion of Zn in GaAs by the Semiclosed-Box Method

Abstract
Liquid sources consisting of the In-Zn-As ternary system have been successfully used for the diffusion of Zn in GaAs by the semiclosed-box method. The surface concentration and junction depth were easily controlled over a wide range of source composition. The experimentally observed effects of the zinc and arsenic fractions in the source on the diffusion agree well with a model derived from interstitial-substitutional interchange.
