The low temperature deposition of SiO/sub 2/ thin films onto InP substrates is discussed. It is shown that the physical and chemical properties of SiO/sub 2/ thin films are stable over a three month period. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the chemistry of the SiO/sub 2/-InP interface reveals the presence of an interfacial substrate oxide. The MIS C(V) characteristics exhibit low frequency dispersion and a deep depletion regime, but it is shown that the measurement procedure can significantly affect the fixed charge and interface state density determination.<>

The growth of high-purity InP on Si and the fabrication of high-speed and high-sensitivity InP/GaInAs heterojunction phototransistors using InP grown on Si by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy (OMVPE) are described. It is shown that high-quality InP can be grown on Si by optimizing the thickness of a GaAs intermediate layer between the InP and Si. A combination of high speed and high sensitivity can be achieved with small-area InP/GaInAs heterojunction phototransistors grown on Si. High-purity InP-on-Si was grown with an electron mobility as high as 4000 cm/sup 2//V-s at 300 K and 25000 cm/sup 2//V-s at 77 K. The residual concentrations are as low as 6*10/sup 14/ cm/sup -3/. The quality of the material is confirmed by the fabrication of InP/GaInAs heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) with optical gains of 125 A/W, dark currents as low as 300 pA, and bandwidths of 4.4 GHz.<>

An apparatus that measures the minority carrier lifetime in InP is described. The technique stimulates the sample with a short pulse of light from a diode laser and measures the photoluminescence (PL) decay to extract the minority carrier lifetime. The photoluminescence lifetime in InP as a function of doping on both n- and p-type material was examined. The results show a marked difference in the lifetime on n-type InP and p-type InP of similar doping levels. N-type InP shows a lifetime considerably longer than the expected radiative limited lifetime.<>

The procedures and results of a project that produced large-area (4-cm/sup 2/) cells using the sputtering process used to form small-area indium tin oxide (ITO)/InP solar cells are described. Although only a small number of the 4-cm/sup 2/ ITO/InP cells (approximately 10 cells total) were fabricated, the efficiency of the best cell compares favorably with the best result reported from a larger production of approximately 1300 2-cm/sup 2/ cells in which the junction was fabricated through a closed-ampoule diffusion process. The average cell efficiency is determined to be 15.5%, with a standard deviation of 0.35%. The highest cell performance obtained is 16.1% AM0 (SERI measurement). Preliminary dark I-V data analysis indicates that the cells demonstrate near-ideal characteristics, with a diode-ideality factor and reverse-saturation current density of 1.02 and 1.1 *10/sup -12/ mAcm/sup -2/, respectively.<>

The detection and characterization of processing- and radiation-induced defects in p-type InP using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) are described. Annealing effects are discussed and initial recovery of critical cell parameters is correlated with anneal of dominant defects. It is shown that DLTS spectra differ for implanted and epitaxial junctions. The implanted diodes do not show the H4 (0.38 eV) level, casting doubt on the Frenkel pair, V/sub p/-P/sub i/, identity assignment. Carrier loss and degradation of V/sub oc/, I/sub sc/, and cell efficiency correlate with the production of dominant hole traps H4 and H3. Observed recovery correlates with anneal of H4 and H3.<>

GaInAs/InP quantum wells with thicknesses between two and ten monolayers were grown in order to study the interface structures in the vertical and lateral directions. The vertical structures and optical properties are shown to be strongly dependent on the growth interruptions used. The optical transitions are described by a theoretical model of the quantum well, which takes the interfaces into account. The monolayer splitting of very thin quantum wells was used to characterize the interface structures in the lateral plane. Scanning cathodoluminescence (SCL) images provide information on the size and lateral distribution of the growth islands. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements show an internal interface roughness on both sides of the quantum wells.<>

Results of Fourier transform photoluminescence (FTPL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy, and photoreflectance (PR) nondestructive characterization measurements of In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/As grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on semi-insulating InP:Fe substates are presented. FTPL identified recombination processes at low and room temperature and carrier types of InGaAs films through correlation of 4.2 K and 293 K PL emissions. XRD measurements determine the extent of film relaxation and the composition. The strained nature of the InGaAs films is suggested by the correlation of low temperature PL bandgap energy and XRD composition. GaAs-like LO and TO modes and an InAs-like LO mode are identified by Raman scattering. Room temperature PR and PL bandgap energies show correlation within experimental error.<>

The growth of a distributed feedback (DFB) laser by two steps of organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD) epitaxy in which the feedback grating is a series of higher index of refraction InGaAsP segments (first growth) completely embedded in lower index InP (second growth) is reported. In the buried grating DFB (BG-DFB) laser, the coupling coefficient (Kl) of the laser optical mode to the feedback grating can be reproducibly and accurately adjusted by changing the thickness of the grating layer or the distance of the grating from the active region. The coupling coefficient can be adjusted over a large range without altering the waveguide parameters of the laser. The duty cycle (ratio of InGaAsP grating segment width to grating period) of the grating can be changed by adjusting the grating etch parameters. This provides another means to optimize the reflectivity and output coupling of second order gratings for grating surface emitter lasers.<>
