Donor levels of MBE-grown Si-doped Al
x
Ga1-x
As have been characterized by a combination of the C-V method and capacitance and current transient spectroscopy. Although most electrons are supplied by so-called DX centers in the AlAs mole fraction (x) range of 0.3∼0.7 in this material, it is found that a small amount of shallow donors are still present. The concentrations of the DX center and the shallow donor are determined in detail as a function of AlAs mole fraction and Si doping level. The activation energy obtained by the Hall effect measurement is discussed in association with these data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
