Abstract
Two-dimensional carrier profiling using scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM) has recently been reported for Si- and InP-based structures. In this article, we report SSRM measurements solely on III–V material-based structures. We have studied GaAs and InP doping staircase structures, prepared using molecular-beam epitaxy. These structures were then used as calibration standards for the profiling of carrier density in state-of-the-art III–V-based optoelectronic devices. We discovered that SSRM data on GaAs can be obtained with either polarity; however, only one polarity (positive or negative sample bias for n- or p-GaAs, respectively) produces SSRM results that show quantitative correlation with dopant concentration as determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In comparison, SSRM measurements using both bias polarities on n-InP correlates well with SIMS, while p-InP exhibits a similar polarity dependence to p-type GaAs. A physical model based on a Schottky junction is proposed to explain these results. We also report calibrated SSRM measurements on GaAs and InP heterojunction bipolar transistor structures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
