Carrier Lifetime Dynamics of Epitaxial Layer HVPE Gallium Arsenide Using Time-Resolved Experiments Paperback - 2012

GaAs is a potential semiconductor material for producing both mid-infrared and terahertz radiation using the new technique of quasi-phase matching in an orientationally patterned GaAs (OP-GaAs) crystal. OP-GaAs is grown using a fast growth process called hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), unfortunately, HVPE produces a high number of defects. These defects cause Shockley-Read-Hall recombination rates to dominate over Auger and radiative recombination rates. The carrier lifetime from four GaAs samples are reported here using two different experimental techniques. The first experiment used a streak camera to measure the carrier lifetime via time-resolved photoluminescence.
