Abstract

The Si impurity is diffused into GaAs at temperatures in the range 725≤T≤850 °C. Secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS)analysis is used to obtain the Si atom density in the Si‐diffused layers. On the basis of the SIMS data and the observation of a distinct exciton peak in absorption for samples diffused at temperatures ≲775 °C, we argue that in the range n Si≲4×101 8/cm3 the Si impurity diffused into GaAs is correlated and is incorporated as Si‐Si nearest‐neighbor pairs.
