Abstract

Carbon doping in InxGa1-xAs is investigated using solid source MBE. InAs mole fractions, x, from 0 to 1 are tested. Under a constant doping level, hole concentration decreases with increasing x. When x is higher than 0.6, the conduction type is n and electron concentration increases with x. The conduction-type inversion and the behavior of carrier mobilities are explained by a self-compensation mechanism.
