The growth of high quality Fe-doped InP epitaxial layers by the chloride vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) method using N/sub 2/ as a carrier gas instead of conventional H/sub 2/ in the Fe source region is described. It is shown that Fe doping was achieved by introducing FeCl/sub 2/ to the growth region, bypassing the In source region. Reactor growth conditions have been optimized for a 2" phi wafer by examining the relationship between growth conditions and the distributions of resistivities and photoluminescence (PL) intensities. Excellent resistivity and thickness uniformity have been obtained by changing the distance between the gas mixing position and InP substrate and precisely controlling the growth temperature. About 92% of the area of the 2" phi wafer showed resistivities between 5*10/sup 7/ and 5*10/sup 8/ Omega -cm, and the maximum thickness deviation from the average of 2.7 mu m was within 2%.<>

SiNH and SiOH have been deposited on InP by ultraviolet chemical vapor deposition (UVCVD), distributed electronic cyclotronic resonance (DECR) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and pulsed 13.56 MHz PECVD at 250 degrees C. A comparison between deposition techniques is presented in terms of interface composition (XPS), defect creation in InP (ETOCAPS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) profiles on metal-insulator-silicon diodes.<>

Progress in the development of solar cells based on InP and its lower-energy-gap, lattice-matched family of Ga/sub x/In/sub 1-x/As/sub y/P/sub 1-y/ alloys is reviewed. The applications and performance of indium tin oxide (ITO)InP cells, monolithic tandem cells based on InP/Ga/sub 0.47/In/sub 0.53/As, mechanically stacked cells using GaAs/Ga/sub 0.25/In/sub 0.75/As/sub 0.54/P/sub 0.46/, and InP shallow-homojunction cells grown heteroepitaxially on lower-cost substrates are described. It is concluded that ITO/InP cells have reached a satisfactory efficiency level for 1-sun cells and are competitive with diffused-junction cells; mechanically stacked tandem concentrator cells have reached efficiencies that make them competitive with all other solar cells; monolithically grown tandem concentrator cells for space applications have the potential for significant improvements in efficiency; and heteroepitaxially grown InP homojunction cells hold considerable potential for space applications.<>

Electrical and optical characterizations of Ga-doped and Sb-doped InP crystal are presented. It is shown that doping with isoelectronic impurities, such as Ga or Sb, does not affect the electrical properties of InP crystal, dilute solid solutions are formed by doping InP with isoelectronic impurities, and native defects in InP can be reduced by doping with Sb.<>

The I-V characteristics and RF performances of W-band InP Gunn diodes with linearly graded doping profiles are presented. Measurements performed on a fabricated diode indicate all output power of 135 mW with 3.0% efficiency at 90 GHz and output power of 117 mW with 2.7% at 94 GHz. The efficiencies are about 1.5 times larger than the best efficiency obtained for flat diodes.<>

The optimization of the growth parameters for undoped InP and InGaAs is described. Special attention has been paid to obtaining a good morphology.

In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As (IGA)-SiO/sub 2/ interfaces are prepared by downstream plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition (PECVD), which avoids exposing the semiconductor surface to the bombardment of the exciting plasma. The natural state of n- and p-type In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As in contact with SiO/sub 2/ prepared by downstream PECVD is electron accumulation. In the case of n-type material, hole accumulation is achieved with negative insulator fields, but for p-MIS structures, Fermi level pinning occurs at 0.41 eV from the valence band edge. Hole accumulation could not be established. The quiescent electron accumulated state of the p-type surface causes surface leakage in junctions that are passivated with this material.<>
