摘要: In this work the authors present an electrical characterization of so called arrowhead defects (ADs) in GaInP thin films grown on Ge(100) substrates misoriented by 6° toward (111). The samples have been evaluated means conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) and Kelvin probe (KPFM). It is shown that ADs terminating planes which are composed from two alternating subplanes inclined 12° (close to {105} plane) {109}) with respect (100) plane. possess higher conductivity compared their surrounding. differ also behavior each other, demonstrating different values bucking voltages difference current densities between was found be ∼170±35 μA/m2 at −3 V, ∼70 mV 5 V excitation signal lift mode. suggested ...
