摘要: p-type InSb was prepared from trimethyl indium and antimony at temperatures between 420 490 degrees C. A narrow window in the growth conditions of temperature V/III ratio found for InSb, with non-uniform, inhomogeneous epilayer other than optimum. Optimum morphologies were achieved ratios 2.2 2.5 a 450 C use low pressures observed to result an enhanced uniformity. The displayed type conversion over range 70-300 K; analysis transport properties is then complicated by contributions two carriers. Calculations using Fermi-Dirac statistics carried out, identifying majority carrier be holes entire considered. also identify acceptor level activation energy 16+or-0.5 meV, concentration (2.65+or-0.02)*1017 cm-3, good agreement conductivity measurements, low-temperature hole mobility cm2 V-1 s-1. detailed employing extended determine dependence Fermi InAs various impurity compositions.
