EFFICIENT PHOTOEMISSION FROM Ge-DOPED GaAs GROWN BY LIQUID-PHASE EPITAXY

Abstract
Efficient photoemission with white light sensitivities as high as 1100 μA/lm has been obtained from Ge‐doped GaAs layers grown by liquid‐phase epitaxy. The hole concentrations of the samples were relatively low (5×1017–2×1018 cm−3), and the sample surfaces were chemically polished prior to cesium‐oxygen activation. Quantum yield data show an unusually high infrared response and suggest long diffusion lengths, between 2 and 7 μ, for the photo‐excited Γ‐electrons.
