Abstract
Raman scattering by local vibrational modes (LVM) is dicussed as a quantitative diagnostic tool to study the incorporation of dopants into GaAs and related materials, such as AlxGa1-xAs, InAs, and InSb. With this technique LVM of Si, Be, and C have been observed so far. Attention has to be paid to the appropriate choice of incident photon energies in the Raman experiment to take advantage of a resonant enhancement of the LVM scattering cross section for energies matching the E1 band gap of the host material. A sufficiently high sensitivity has been achieved to study isolated planar (delta-)doped layers in GaAs.
