Abstract
The effect of the conditions of gas-phase epitaxy on complexing in tellurium-doped layers of gallium arsenide is studied. Measurements of the intensities of the corresponding photoluminescence lines were used to estimate the concentration of optically-active complexes. A correlation was found between the processes involved in complexing, the growth velocity, and impurity trapping in the layers. The determining role of the surface structure in the formation of complexes, including impurity atoms, is demonstrated.
