Laser-Irradiation Effects on the Incorporation of Impurities in GaAs during MOVPE Growth

Abstract
Laser-irradiation effects on the incorporation of n- and p-type impurities in GaAs have been studied by irradiating the substrate with an ArF excimer laser light during MOVPE growth. An n-type dopant source of TMSi is decomposed effectively by laser excitation, resulting in a dramatic increase in the carrier (electron) concentration. The decomposition of a p-type dopant source of DMZn is not influenced by laser irradiation at a growth temperature of 700°C. Si- or Zn-doped GaAs layers in the irradiated area are of high crystalline quality.
