摘要:
A method for controlling the Si concentration in a GaP single crystal layer grown in a series of runs of GaP liquid phase epitaxial growth with the repeated use of one and the same Ga solution, which comprise the steps of: measuring the Si concentrations of the GaP single crystal layers in preceding runs; then determining the additional Si amounts to be added into the Ga solution to refresh the Si effective concentration therein in reference to the Si concentrations in the layers; and adding Si of the thus determined amount into the Ga solution to commence the subsequent run, wherein the Si concentration in each of the GaP liquid phase epitaxial growth layers is determined from measurement of the O/G ratio in the layer, which is computed from each pair of the both values of the photoluminescent spectral peak intensity around the wavelength of 6300 .ANG. (O component) as the numerator and the other photoluminescent spectral peak intensity around the wavelength of 5540 .ANG. (G component) as the denominator in the photoluminescence spectrum obtained by illuminating the GaP liquid phase epitaxial growth layer with a laser beam at room temperature, with the help of good correlation therebetween.

An efficient method is proposed for the determination of the concentration of nitrogen in an indirect-transition compound semiconductor such as gallium phosphide added as an isoelectronic trap. The method utilizes the fact that a good correlation of proportionality is held between the nitrogen concentration and the difference .DELTA..alpha.(=.alpha..sub.N -.alpha.) in the absorption coefficient of light of a wavelength identical with the wavelength .lambda..sub.N due to the excitons under constraint in the isoelectronic trap between the semiconductors with (.alpha..sub.N) and without (.alpha.) addition of nitrogen. A working curve is presented between the nitrogen concentration determined by the method of SIMS and the value of .DELTA..alpha..

In an improved liquid phase epitaxial growth method and apparatus in which a plurality of substrates are placed in a deposition chamber having at least one first vent hole; a solution for liquid phase growth is held in a solution chamber having at least one second vent hole and at least two sub-chambers separated by a partition plate and communicated with each other via a communicating portion; and before the substrates and the solution for liquid phase growth are brought into contact with each other, the deposition chamber and the solution chamber are revolved for causing the solution for liquid phase growth to move through the communicating portion so as to increase and decrease the volume of space portions of the respective sub-chambers and thereby replacement of a heat-treatment gas in the deposition chamber and the solution chamber is undertaken to achieve heat treatment. With this heat-treatment, surface oxide films on the substrates and the solution are removed, thus making it possible to obtain a liquid phase epitaxial layer with excellent qualities.

摘要:
While a nitrogen-doped gallium phosphide epitaxial layer in an epitaxial wafer as a material of light-emitting diodes is desired to have a high concentration of nitrogen in order to enhance the efficiency of light emission, the present invention provides a reliable and efficient means to accomplish a high nitrogen concentration by the increase of the concentration of ammonia as a nitrogen source in the doping atmosphere to the contrary to the general understanding that increase of the ammonia concentration to exceed a limit rather has an effect of decreasing the concentration of nitrogen doped in the epitaxial layer. The inventive method is based on the discovery that an exponential relationship is held between the growth rate of the epitaxial layer and the concentration of nitrogen in the thus grown epitaxial layer.
