Popis: We report on the control of zinc in organometallic vapor phase epitaxial (OMVPE) grown InP:Zn/InGaAs/InPp- i- n double heterojunctions with InGaAs:Zn contacting layers. As a function of diethylzinc (DEZn) flow, we measure net acceptor concentrations for the InP:Zn p-layer in the range 2 × 1017≤N a−N d≤ 9 × 1017 cm−3. A 435°C post-growth anneal for 300 sec increases the net acceptor concentrations by a factor of 3.6 − to 6 × 1017≤N a−N d≤ 3 × 1018 cm−3. When the annealed value ofN a − Ndin the InP:Zn layer is 6 × 1017 cm−3 , secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements show abrupt Zn-doping transitions at the heterojunction interfaces. In contrast, when the annealed value ofN a − Ndin the InP:Zn layer is near the saturation value of 3 × 1018 cm−3, SIMS measurements show significant movement of Zn into the nominally undoped InGaAs instrinsic layer. Increasedp-i-n diode capacitance is associated with the Zn movement.
