Si Atomic-Planar-Doping in GaAs Made by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Abstract
Si atomic-planar-doping in GaAs was studied with the use of molecular beam epitaxy. It was found that doped Si impurities are entirely activated with a sheet doping concentration of up to about 3×1012 cm-2. A heavy doping experiment in GaAs was conducted by repeating Si planar doping. The average electron concentration of the n+-GaAs layer was as high as 1.14×1019 cm-3 which is comparable to the highest value ever reported for Si-doped GaAs.
