Analysis of Ga_(1-x)Al_xAs-GaAs Heteroepitaxial Layers by Proton Backscattering

Abstract

Proton backscattering at < 1 MeV has been used to measure Ga_(1-x)A1_xAs heteroepitaxial layers on GaAs that are used in optoelectronic applications. By evaporating Ge on A1, we have obtained relative values of the stopping cross-section of A1 to Ge. Deposition of Ge layers on Ga_(1-x)A1_xAs layers removed problems associated with secondary electron suppression. The experimental data on composition compare well with analysis by other techniques.
