Raman Spectroscopy of Dopant Impurities and Defects in GaAs Layers

  • Chapter
Book cover Light Scattering in Semiconductor Structures and Superlattices

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 273))

  • 196 Accesses

Abstract

Raman spectroscopy has found widespread use for the investigation of intrinsic phonon modes and electronic excitations of free carriers in bulk semiconductors as well as in semiconductor heterostructures 1-3. Raman scattering by impurities and defects 4,5, in contrast, has been used so far only in a limited number of examples. This also contrasts to other techniques, such as photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy, which are used routinely for the investigation of defects and impurities.
