Lattice Monte Carlo model of Langmuir evaporation of AIIIBV semiconductors
Purpose. The aim of the work is to study the processes occurring during the Langmuir evaporation of AIIIBV semiconductor substrates. Methodology. The study of GaAs and InAs Langmuir evaporation was performed with the help of Monte Carlo simulation method. Simulation of high-temperature annealing was carried out on the basis of the SilSim3D software complex. The paper presents the abilities of the “Substrate Generator” software complex programs by which the model objects creation and the computing experiments results analysis were carried out. The four-component system, consisting of metal atoms (gallium or indium) in the solid and liquid phases and arsenic in the atomic and molecular form, was considered. The model takes into account the metal droplets formation and the processes of creation and dissociation of molecular arsenic. Each of the processes is characterized by its activation energy. The choice of the model parameters is based on the agreement between simulated and experimental temperature dependences of equilibrium pressure of semiconductor components and arsenic solubility in the liquid metal (gallium, indium) of GaAs and InAs systems over a wide temperature range. Findings. For two surfaces orientations of the model substrates ((111)A and (111)B), the temperatures regions of congruent and incongruent evaporation were determined. It was shown that the temperature of congruent evaporation on the (111)B surface is lower than on (111)A. On the (111)A surfaces, droplet formation starts near the steps of the vicinal surfaces and on (111)B droplets are formed uniformly on the terraces. Value. The obtained model results on the GaAs Langmuir evaporation agree with known experimental data. The results on InAs evaporation leads to the prediction for future experiments.
