Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time, that photovoltage spectroscopy (PVS) with an aqueous electrolyte/semiconductor contact can be extended to the wavelength range of 1-2 µm by using an optical fibre which comes directly into contact with the semiconductor, thus avoiding the strong adsorption by the electrolyte which occurs in this spectral range. This technique is illustrated for lattice-matched In1-xGaxAs grown on InP having a bandgap of 0.74 eV corresponding to ?g = 1.67 µm. Thus, carrier and composition depth profiling can be carried out on ternary and quaternary alloys used for 1.3 µm and 1.5 µm optoelectronic devices.
