    Abstract

    We assessed the capability of electrochemical voltage–capacitance method to evaluate doping impurity distribution in AlGaAs:Si thin films in a wide range of composition. It was found that etching behaviour significantly depends on Al content. Despite the surface of AlxGa1−xAs is rather roughing the doping depth profile can be determined in an accurate way. The data extracted from the electrochemical voltage–capacitance measurements, Hall measurements, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy were thoroughly analysed. The total donor concentration was estimated for studied films.
