    Abstract

    Thermal annealing of n-type liquid phase epitaxial gallium arsenide is examined. It is shown that low 1015 cm-3 n-type electrically active impurity levels can be reduced to 3 × 1013 cm-3 by long term annealing. Conversely, it is also shown that p-type liquid phase epitaxial (LPE) gallium arsenide when thermally annealed will show an increase in the net acceptor density. A mechanism for this effect is proposed.
