Abstract:
The effect of different arsenic species (As[subscript 2] or As[subscript 4]) on the quality of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown GaNAsSb materials (samples A and B) and GaAs/ GaNAsSb/GaAs p+n-n+ devices (samples C and D) were investigated. The improvement in material quality in sample B, as well as the improvement in diode and solar cell characteristics in sample C, may suggest a successful defect density manipulation using As[subscript 2] overpressure for GaNAsSb growth.
