Abstract
Activation of the Zn acceptors in AlGaInP epitaxial layers grown on misoriented substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) has been successfully improved using post-heat treatment. The p-type carrier concentration and electrical activity on the (Al0.65Ga0.35)0.5In0.5P layers were 1.8*1018 cm-3 and 0.7, respectively. Activation of the Zn acceptors was found to be attributable to the hydrogen in the AlGaInP layer.
