Spatial localization of impurities in δ-doped GaAs

Abstract
Capacitance‐voltage profiles on δ‐doped GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy reveal extremely narrow widths of ≲40 Å at room temperature. Subband structure and capacitance‐voltage (CV) profiles of δ‐doped GaAs are calculated self‐consistently. Experimental CV profiles agree with self‐consistent results, only if we assume that Si impurities are localized on the length scale of the lattice constant in the host GaAs zinc‐blende lattice.
