Optical beam indal npn-structure junction devicesuced current measurements at planar two-dimension — •C. Werner, D. Reuter, and A.D. Wieck — Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Festkörperphysik, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 44780 Bochum

By overcompensating a p-doped GaAs/In_0.19Ga_0.81As/Al_0.33Ga_0.67As pseudomorphic heterostructure we have fabricated two-dimensional npn-junction devices. The molecular beam epitaxy grown base material has a hole density of 7×10¹¹ cm⁻² and the mobility of the holes is 200 cm²/Vs at room temperature.

By implanting silicon ions we locally overcompensate the heterostructure, as described in [1, 2], and obtain n-doped areas. The implantation consists of two rectangles with a non-implanted area in between. We expect the resulting photocurrent to be linearly dependent on the position of a light spot for this type of sample. Therefore we made OBIC-measurements (optical beam induced current) by scanning a modulated focused laser beam (635 nm) across the sample perpendicular to the junctions and measuring the voltage drop over a resistance connected to the device by a lock-in amplifier.
