Subpicosecond carrier lifetime in GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperatures
Open accessAbstract
Epitaxial GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at low substrate temperatures is observed to have a significantly shorter carrier lifetime than GaAs grown at normal substrate temperatures. Using femtosecond time-resolved-reflectance techniques, a sub-picosecond (<0.4 ps) carrier lifetime has been measured for GaAs grown by MBE at ∼200°C and annealed at 600 °C. With the same material as a photoconductive switch we have measured electrical pulses with a full-width at half-maximum of 0.6 ps using the technique of electro-optic sampling. Good responsivity for a photoconductive switch is observed, corresponding to a mobility of the photoexcited carriers of ∼120–150 cm2/V s. GaAs grown by MBE at 200 °C and annealed at 600 °C is also semi-insulating, which results in a low dark current in the switch application. The combination of fast recombination lifetime, high carrier mobility, and high resistivity makes this material ideal for a number of subpicosecond photoconductive applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
