Abstract

In this paper we report our study on n-type Te doping of amorphous GaN1-xAsxlayers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We have used a low temperature PbTe source as a source of tellurium. Reproducible and uniform tellurium incorporation in amorphous GaN1-xAsxlayers has been successfully achieved with a maximum Te concentration of 9×1020cm-3. Tellurium incorporation resulted in n-doping of GaN1-xAsxlayers with Hall carrier concentrations up to 3×1019cm-3and mobilities of ~1 cm2/V s. The optimal growth temperature window for efficient Te doping of the amorphous GaN1-xAsxlayers has been determined.
