Popis: The p-type doping of ZnSSe grown by MOMBE (metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy) and MBE (molecular beam epitaxy) has been comparatively studied. The p-type doping by using ammonia as a dopant source in MOMBE resulted in p-ZnSe with hole concentration of up to 10 17 cm -3 . Perfect ohmic contact characteristics were achieved by MOMBE for Au/p-ZnSe:N with hole concentration of 5.5 × 10 17 cm -3 . On the other hand, p-type doping in MBE by using nitrogen plasma as a dopant resulted in p-ZnSe with net acceptor concentration of up to 7.6 × 10 17 cm -3 . I–V characteristics with the lowest Schottky barriers were obtained for Au/p-ZnSe with net acceptor concentration of 6.6 × 10 16 to 7.6 × 10 17 cm -3 for ZnSe:N and of 2.8 × 10 16 to 1.2 × 10 17 cm -3 for ZnS x Se 1− x :N ( x = 0.03−0.12). The characteristics of ZnSe light emitting diodes with p-ZnSe grown by using ammonia in MOMBE are described. The characteristics of a ZnCdSe/ZnSSe laser diode with p-ZnSSe grown by using nitrogen plasma in MBE are discussed.
