We have used a previously developed improved photo induced current spectroscopy (PICS) technique to scan the optical activation energies of electron and hole traps in 0.15/spl mu/m x 50/spl mu/m gate-area MODFET's based on InP substrate. For comparison purposes we have also examined the traps in a conventional AlGaAs/GaAs MODFET. Measurements with a constant low-drain voltage (/spl les/ 40mV), with and without a pre-pulsed higher drain voltage, are performed to explore the possible presence of traps in the channel and buffer layers. Results of determination of optical and thermal activation energies are presented for comparison.

Highly resistive s.i. InP:Fe grown with the Hydride-Vapor Phase Epitaxy technique is successfully used for selective embedding of mushroom type laser structures. The iron doped InP reveals resistivities from 10/sup 7/ to 10/sup 9/ Q/spl Omega/cm resulting in good current blocking properties and in the reduction of the parasitic capacity, as well. High frequency response of 13 GHz has been achieved.

SI-GaAs wafers have been implanted with 0.6 /spl I.itilde/ 7.0 MeV /sup 28/ Si /sup +/ ions and processed by rapid thermal annealing. The donor activation rate goes down from 60% to /spl I.itilde/ 20% with an increasing fluence of 1 x 10/sup 13/ /spl I.itilde/ 2 x 10/sup 14/ cm/sup -2/, at high doses it goes up slowly with increasing ion energies. The carrier profile spreads shallower than Si atomic profile. The activation proceeds by the exchange of interstitial Si with substitutional Ga. The poor activation rate results mainly from Si/sub Ga/ - Si/sub As/ pair formation.

The time evolution of the paramagnetic signals and the photo-current in the same semi-insulating GaAs during 1.2eV illumination at low temperatures can be analyzed within the same charge transfer model. The latter involves neutral compensating donor-acceptor pairs becoming metastable through a charge exchange whose reverse process is hindered by carrier trapping. Since the same set of parameters allows one to describe the transient behaviors in both experiments, there is no need for a configuration metastability for the photoconductivity anomaly and the photoquenchable As/sub Ga/ observed by EPR.

We employ dark-field infrared microscopy for the observation of arsenic precipitates in GaAs. This technique provides similar information that was thought, some time ago, to be only available by using techniques such as Light Scattering Tomography or Scanning Infrared Microscopy. We have investigated undoped GaAs grown by the LEC and Vertical Gradient Freeze techniques and that have undergone different post-growth heat treatments. Three dimensional mappings of precipitates are easily achieved.

We propose an analytical model for the frequency-dependent output conductance of GaAs MESFETs on semi-insulating (SI) substrates. Because of deep levels the ac potential profile across the SI region between source and drain is frequency dependent and results in a change with frequency of the ac voltage drop across the channel-substrate interface. This results in a change of the output conductance with frequency. A closed form for the ac potential profile was obtained by solving the continuity equations for holes and electrons plus Poissson's equation under conditions of low-level injection and low frequencies. The model allows an examination of the effect of the density and location of multiple deep levels and reproduces published experimental and numerical results.

The real crystal structure of In/sub 0.52/AI/sub 0.48/As layers grown on InP<001> substrate as a function of the growth temperature (between 150/spl deg/C and 450/spl deg/C) was investigated. Both as-grown and annealed samples (500/spl deg/C) show a high electrical resistivity (10/sup 6-10/sup 7//spl Omega/cm). The following structural /electrical analyses were applied to these samples: transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction, particle induced x-ray emission (PIXE). In the temperature range between 200/spl deg/C and 450/spl deg/C good crystalline InAlAs layers can be achieved with a low density of dislocations and stacking faults. A generation of precipitates as in the case of LT-GaAs could not be observed. Furthermore, ordering of group-III elements on {111} planes was observed in these layers. Structure models of such ordered domains are discussed. At growth temperatures below 300/spl deg/C additional As (/spl ap/1-2%) is incorporated in the lattice. For layers grown below 200/spl deg/C "pyramidal defects" are formed containing small inclusions of hexagonal As precipitates in the core of these defects.

By using our VCZ (Vapour pressure controlled Czochralski) method, we successfully grew semi-insulating 4 /spl oslash/ GaAs single crystals with very low-dislocation density of less than 5,000cm/sup -2/ which was one order of magnitude less than that of the LEC single crystal. The residual strain of the VCZ substrate was one quarter of that of the LEC substrate. The generation of slip-dislocation on the substrates during MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) growth was significantly improved on the VCZ substrates.

The amplitude dependence of the photoreflectance signal upon intensity of the pumping beam has been measured for SI-GaAs and SI-InP and it is explained by the difference in the surface Fermi level in the two materials. When a pump beam with photon energy less than the bandgap is used in SI-GaAs a simple relationship exists between the amplitude of the photoreflectance signal and the trapped surface charge. The effect of several chemical treatments or of a ZnSe cap layer on the surface trap density in SI-GaAs has been determined.
