STUDY OF INGAAS-BASED MODULATION DOPED FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR STRUCTURES USING VARIABLE-ANGLE SPECTROSCOPIC ELLIPSOMETRY

[摘要] Variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to estimate the thicknesses of all layers within the optical penetration depth of InGaAs-based modulation doped field effect transistor structures. Strained and unstrained InGaAs channels were made by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on InP substrates and by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on GaAs substrates. In most cases, ellipsometrically determined thicknesses were within 10%. of the growth-calibration results. The MBE-made InGaAs strained layers showed large strain effects, indicating a probable shift in the critical points of their dielectric function toward the InP lattice-matched concentration.
