Abstract

The free carrier concentration of GaAs layers grown by MOCVD either on GaAs or Si substrates, by the conformal method in the last case, was obtained from the micro-Raman spectra using the hydrodynamic approach to fit the LO phonon-plasmon coupled Raman modes. The results on homoepitaxial layers were used as a calibration of the fitting method. The measurements in the selectively doped conformal layers were then compared with data obtained by micro-photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and imaging. The doping data are compared with those deduced from the room temperature micro-photoluminescence and cathodolumiescence spectra.
