Abstract

Annealing in excess arsenic vapor at 650-degrees-C introduces thermal conversion of n-type Si-doped GaAs samples (n = 1.3 X 10(18) cm-3) into p type. The observations are made by current-voltage and electron-beam induced current measurements. The donor concentration on the n side near the junction decreases after annealing. We present a comparison between the photoluminescence spectra of samples annealed under different conditions and an analysis of depth profile of the photoluminescence spectra. Our results underline the important role of gallium vacancies and gallium vacancy-silicon donor complex in the thermal conversion.

Doping (semiconductor)

In semiconductor production, doping is the intentional introduction of impurities into an intrinsic semiconductor for the purpose of modulating its electrical, optical and structural properties. The doped material is referred to as an extrinsic semiconductor. Small numbers of dopant atoms can change the ability of a semiconductor to conduct electricity. When on the order of one dopant atom is added per 100 million atoms, the doping is said to be low or light.

Transistor

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. It is one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics. It is composed of semiconductor material, usually with at least three terminals for connection to an electronic circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals controls the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal.

Solar thermal energy

Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors. Solar thermal collectors are classified by the United States Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors. Low-temperature collectors are generally unglazed and used to heat swimming pools or to heat ventilation air. Medium-temperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for heating water or air for residential and commercial use.
