Notes:
We report strong transmission electron microscope (TEM) contrast between p-, i-, and n-doped InP layers in semiconductor laser diodes. For doping concentrations ∼1018 cm−3, contrast levels on the order 30% are observed between p- and n-type layers. A critical feature of these experiments is that the samples imaged in the TEM are relatively perfect, plane-parallel sided membranes fabricated with a focused ion beam. This technique offers the ability to detect and map doping variations with nm-scale resolution, simultaneously with the other compositional and defect information inherent to TEM. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
