Notes:
Incorporation of atomic hydrogen into heteroepitaxial Si-doped GaAs layers grown directly on InP substrates by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy produces substantial increases in the reverse bias breakdown voltage of TiPtAu Schottky diodes fabricated on the GaAs-on-InP. Plasma hydrogenated diodes annealed at 400 °C to restore the electrical activity of the passivated shallow donors have reverse breakdown voltages (VB) of ∼6.5 V compared to 4.5 V for untreated samples. The increases in VB are stable to 500 °C annealing for 5 min. Atomic profiling of deuterated samples showed substantial outdiffusion of deuterium from the GaAs at 600 °C, with increasing accumulation at the heterointerface. The deuterium in this disordered region after 600 °C annealing is in a relatively immobile, electrically inactive state.
