Abstract

The first results obtained with a use of Ga2S3 and Ga2Se3 compounds as sources of donor elements for the molecular beam epitaxy of AI,Ga1-xSb (0<or=x<or=1) on GaSb and GaAs substrates and AlxGa1-xAs (0<or=x<or=0.4) are reported. In GaAs, free electron concentrations obtained when incorporating the donors from these sources can be easily controlled up to a maximum of 5*1018 cm-3. For AlxGa1-xSb it was possible to compensate the high concentration of native acceptors and obtain n-type conductivity over the full composition range of the alloy. For GaSb maximum free electron concentrations were 6*1017 cm-3 and 5*1016 cm-3 for selenium and sulphur elements respectively.
