Abstract
Tertiarybutylphosphine was explored as a safer alternative to phosphine for the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition of Ga0.52In0.48P on GaAs. For V/III ratios greater than or equal to 50 and growth temperatures between 630 and 700° C, the minority carrier diffusion length of Ga0.52In0.48P grown from t-butylphosphine, approached that of Ga0.52In0.48P grown from phosphine under similar conditions. Compared to deposition with phosphine, with t-butylphosphine the surface morphology was rougher, the carbon and sulfur contamination was greater, and the loss of indium by parasitic reaction was greater. The band gap of the Ga0.52In0.48P at fixed composition varied differently with V/III ratio.
