Abstract
The postgrowth annealing technique has been shown to be useful for improving the interface properties of fluoride films grown on GaAs(100) by molecular beam epitaxy. Annealings typically at 800°C–850°C for 1 min reduce the interface state densities of the fluoride/GaAs interface to about 5×1011/cm2eV (derived from the 1 MHz capacitance-voltage measurement) in both n- and p-type substrates. Photoluminescence intensity of the CaF2-coated GaAs was compared before and after annealing. Ambient dependency during annealing was also investigated by measuring the structural and electrical properties of the films.Keywords
