Abstract

GaAsN thin films were grown by chemical beam epitaxy using monomethylhydrazine ((CH3)N2H3) as the N sources, and the role of the nitrogen (N) and impurities (hydrogen (H), carbon (C)) on free carrier concentration was investigated. The N, H, and C concentrations increased with decreasing growth temperature. GaAsN thin film grown at 470°C was n-type conduction, and the donor is thought to be the same in GaAs thin film. On the other hand, the films grown at 390-460°C were p-type conduction. In the range of 420-460°C, the hole concentration increased with decreasing growth temperature, and it decreased below 420°C, respectively. In order to clarify the origin of acceptor in p-GaAsN thin films, the dependence of growth temperature on the hole concentration and N, H, and C concentration were investigated, and the relationship between them was discussed.
