Abstract
High resistivity In-based compound Group III-V epitaxial layers are used to prevent substantial current flow through a region of a semiconductor device, such as a CSBH, DCPBH, EMBH or CMBH laser, a LED, a photodiode, a HBT, or a FET. Also disclosed is a hydride VPE process for making the high resistivity material doped with Fe. The Fe is supplied by a volatile halogenated Fe compound, and the extend of pyrolysis of the hydride is limited to allow transport of sufficient dopant to the growth area.
