Study of Fermi Level of p+-doped GaAsSb by Indirect Transition Model
-doped GaAsSb is extensively applied in InP HBT base material
it influences many important parameters
such as band gap and Fermi level. These parameters are key factors for the design of high performance HBT devices. This work studied photoluminescence of p
+
- GaAsSb in the model of indirect transition
especially the relationship between GaAsSb Fermi level and Sb composition. The hole effective mass (
m
h
) and hole density (
n
h
) were measured and calculated because Fermi level
m
h
and
n
h
had functional relationship. It is found that
m
h
and
n
h
result in the change of Fermi level.
