What is the GaAs Process?

GaAs wafers must be prepared prior to device fabrication. To start, they must be completely cleaned to remove any damage that might have occurred during the slicing process. The wafers are then Chemically Mechanically Polished/Plaranrized (CMP) for the final material removal stage. This allows for the attainment of super-flat mirror-like surfaces with a remaining roughness on an atomic scale. After that is completed, the wafer is ready for fabrication.

Impact Ionization

There are two schools of thought regarding the impact ionization in GaAs.

The first one states that impact ionization rates αi and βi for electrons and holes in GaAs are known accurately enough to distinguish such subtle details such as the anisothropy of αi and βi for different crystallographic directions. This approach is described in detail in the work by Dmitriev et al.[1987].

Experimental curves αi and βi versus 1/F for GaAs.
Experimental curves αi and βi versus 1/F for GaAs.
Experimental curves αi and βi versus 1/F for GaAs.

The second school focuses on the values of αi and βi for the same electric field reported by different researches differ by an order of magnitude or more. This point of view is explained by Kyuregyan and Yurkov [1989]. According to this approach we can assume that αi = βi. Approximate formula for the field dependence of ionization rates:
αi = β i =αoexp[δ - (δ2 + (F0 / F)2)1/2]
where αo = 0.245·106 cm-1; β = 57.6 Fo = 6.65·106 V cm-1 (Kyuregyan and Yurkov [1989]).
