Abstract

The carrier concentration in layers of AlxGa1−xSb solid solutions has been studied. A layer was obtained by liquid-phase epitaxy and alloyed with Zn, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb. It has been shown that these admixtures are acceptors in AlxGa1−xSb. The ratio of the hole concentration to the admixture concentration in the liquid phase drops as x increases and, for group IV elements, as the atomic number of the element increases. Calculation of the distribution coefficients by the expressions obtained in Part I of this study made it possible to explain the results.
