Simultaneous doped layers for semiconductor devices

摘要

An indium phosphide semiconductor layer or layers are simultaneously doped with groups II-VI elements such as zinc and selenium. These simultaneously (acceptor/donor) doped layers offer improved characteristics when used as an ohmic contact capping layer of indium phosphide or as the active laser region in long wavelength light emitting diodes composed of indium phosphide. The simultaneous doping is achieved through the use of liquid phase epitaxy.
