Peculiarities of ''alloy'' scattering in semiconductors

Description

There is investigated the effect of nanometer size disordered regions in SixGe1-x and InPxAs1-x semiconductor alloys on the charge carriers mobility. An investigation has shown that composition dependence of the mobility appears as result of competition of main processes of current carriers scattering on phonons, ionized impurities and ''alloy'' disorders in SixGe1-x and InPxAs1-x alloys. We have calculated the contribution of these scattering processes into total scattering. Share of contribution of ''alloy'' disorders into the total mobility is different for SixGe1-x and InPxAs1-x solid solutions. Unlike SixGe1-x alloys the ''alloy'' disorders in InPxAs1-x practically do not disturb the crystal lattice in tangible way at temperatures in the range of 4.2 - 300 K because of sublattices of InP and InAs retain a certain individuality in InPxAs1-x alloys.
