N2 - Crystal quality of GaAsN films can be improved by using chemical beam epitaxy method for low-temperature growth. However, low-temperature growth increases carbon (C) incorporation in the films, which degrades their electrical properties. To reduce the C concentration in the films, C incorporation process was investigated in view of the surface reaction of nitrogen (N) sources on a substrate surface, and monomethylhydrazine (MMHy) and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (DMHy) were compared. When MMHy was used as an N source, the C concentration in GaAsN drastically increases below 380°C than that in GaAs due to insufficient CHx desorption. In the case of DMHy, N(CH 3)2 is desorbed more readily than CHx, Therefore, the C concentration can then be reduced by using DMHy.
