Activation of Zn acceptors in AlGaInP epitaxial layers grown on misoriented substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition

Abstract
Activation of the Zn acceptors in AlGaInP epitaxial layers grown on misoriented substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) has been successfully improved using post-heat treatment. The p-type carrier concentration and electrical activity in the (Al0.65Ga0.35)0.5In 0.5P layers were 1.8 × 1016cm-3 and 0.7, respectively. Activation of the Zn acceptors was found to be attributable to the hydrogen in the AIGaInP layer.
