Abstrakt: Unintentionally doped GaAs layers were grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Temperature-dependent electrical transport measurements were performed and the layer characteristics were derived by a two-layer analysis. The substrate begins to affect the layer transport properties at low temperatures, depending on the carrier density and the layer thickness. The p-type samples show two conductivity-type conversions at two different temperatures. One is a combined transport phenomenon of the layer and substrate, and the other occurs in the layer but is still influenced by the substrate. A two-band model involving light- and heavy-hole bands was adopted in analyzing the hole transport in the layer, and the light hole was determined to play a crucial role even with its very small effective mass compared to the heavy hole.
