ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the invention, gallium-containing layers are grown by molecular beam processes using as an arsenic precursor a compound of the dialkylaminoarsenic family (DAAAs) such as tris-dimethylamino arsenic (DMAAs). In contrast to conventional arsenic sources, DAAAs act as carbon "getters". When DAAAs are used as an arsenic source, the DAAAs getter carbon impurities from the gallium source. Thus, for example, DAAAs can be used as an arsenic source in combination with TMG as a gallium source to selectively grow high purity or n-type layers of gallium arsenide at low temperatures below 600.degree. C. In addition DMAAs has been found to be an excellent cleaning agent for gallium arsenide materials.
