Abstract

Transmission electron diffraction patterns of cross-sectional TEM samples of OMVPE ZnSe on GaAs indicate the existence of the hexagonal wurtzite phase in the epitaxial layers. The orientation relationship is (0002)//(111); (1120)//(220). Etching studies indicate the phase is internal not ion milling induced. The average wurtzite particle size is 80Å-120Å. Because of interplanar spacing matches it is easily overlooked. Electrical property measurements show a high resistivity (1010ω/square) which drops by four orders of magnitude upon rapid thermal annealing between 700°C and 900 °C for 3 sec. Implantation of Li and N have little effect on the electrical transport properties. The Li is shown to have a high diffusivity, a solid solubility of ≈1016/cm3 at 800°C and getters to the ZnSeA/aAs interface.
