Growth of AlxGa1−x as by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using trimethylgallium and trimethylamine alane

High-quality Al_xGa_1−xAs layers with aluminum arsenide contentx up to 0.34 have been grown in a low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system using trimethylgallium (TMG), trimethylamine alane (TMAA) and arsine. The carbon content in these films depended on growth conditions but was in general lower than in those obtained with trimethylaluminum (TMA) instead of TMAA in the same reactor under similar conditions. Unlike TMA grown layers, the TMAA grown Al_xGa_1−xAs layers, (grown at much lower temperature—down to 650° C), exhibited room temperature photolu-minescence (PL). Low temperature (25 K) PL from these films showed sharp bound exciton peaks with a line width of 5.1 meV for Al_0.25Ga_0.75As. A 39 period Al_0.28Ga_0.72As (5.5 nm)/GaAs (8.0 nm) superlattice grown at 650° C showed a strong PL peak at 25 K with a line width of 5.5 meV attesting to the high quality of these layers.     

Stoichiometry-dependent deep levels in undoped p-type Al0.38Ga0.62As grown by liquid phase epitaxy

Photocapacitance (PHCAP) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements were applied to unintentionally doped p-type Al_0.38Ga_0.62As grown by liquid phase epitaxy using the temperature difference method under controlled vapor pressure. PHCAP spectra revealed three dominant deep levels at E_v+0.9, E_v + 1.45, and E_v+1.96 eV, and a deep level at E_v+0.9−1.5 eV which was not neutralized by forward bias injection. These level densities increase with increasing arsenic vapor pressure and net shallow acceptor density. Furthermore, PL spectra reveal a deep level at 1.6–1.7 eV. The PL intensity of this deep level increases with increasing arsenic vapor pressure. These deep levels are thought to be associated with excess As.     

Photoluminescent properties of ZnO thin films grown on SiO2/Si(100) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

We report on the photoluminescent (PL) properties of ZnO thin films grown on SiO₂/Si(100) substrates using low pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The growth temperature of the films was as low as 400°C. From the PL spectra of the films at 10–300 K, strong PL peaks due to free and bound excitons were observed. The origin of the near bandedge emission peaks was investigated measuring temperature-dependent PL spectra. In addition, the Zn O films demonstrated a stimulated emission peak at room temperature. Upon illumination with an excitation density of 1 MW/cm², a strong, sharp peak was observed at 3.181 eV.     

Effect of temperature on InGaAsP alloy composition

The influence of growth temperature on the composition of InGaAsP films grown by low pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is reported for quaternary (Q) alloys having bandgap wavelengths of λ_g = 1.1, 1.3, and 1.5 μn. Films with these different Q-compositions were deposited lattice matched to InP at a growth temperature of 675°C. Subsequent growth experiments were then performed for each Q-composition in which the input gas flow rates were kept the same and only the temperature changed in 25°C decrements down to 600°C. Photoluminescence (PL) and lattice mismatch (LMM) measurements of the resulting films were used to determine the effect of growth temperature on film composition. The PL data indicate a temperature shift in the PL wavelength of −1.8 nm/ °C for the 1.5Q composition, −2.9 nm/°C for 1.3Q, and −4.3 nm/°C for 1.1Q. Negative shifts were also observed in LMM of −80 ppm/°C for 1.5Q, −150 ppm/°C for 1.3Q, and −250 ppm/°C for 1.1Q. The Ga/In and P/As ratios of the Q-filmswere measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy and correlated with full-wafer maps of the PL wavelength and lattice mismatch to gain insight into the processes responsible for wafer nonuniformity in MOVPE.     

Study of optical characteristics of structures with strongly strained In<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Ga<Subscript>1 − <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>As quantum wells

Results of photoluminescence (PL) studies of heterostructures with strongly strained InxGa_{1 ? x} As quantum wells (QWs) are presented. It is shown that the dependence of the PL intensity on the QW thickness has a maximum whose position depends on the composition of the In _x Ga_{1 ? x} As solid solution. The PL wavelength at the maximum intensity is 1.13 µm at a QW thickness of 60 µm at a QW thickness of 50 Å for x = 0.39 and 0.42, respectively.     

Polarization-resolved photoluminescence piezospectroscopy of GaAs/Al0.35Ga0.65As:Be quantum wells

The photoluminescence (PL) of GaAs/Al_0.35Ga_0.65As:Be quantum wells is studied at temperatures of 77 and 300 K under conditions of uniaxial compression along the [110] direction. There are two main lines in the PL spectra; at zero pressure and T = 77 K, the peaks appear at 1.517 and 1.532 eV. Comparison of the pressure dependences of the peak positions and the polarization of the PL measured experimentally with those calculated theoretically gives evidence that, at T ≥ 77 K, these bands originate from the recombination of free electrons with heavy and light holes in the GaAs valence band.

Ultra-thin GaxIn1−xAs/InP (0≤x≤0.47) layer growth by chemical beam epitaxy

Ga_xIn_1?xAs/InP (0≤x≤0.47) lattice-matched and compressively strained quantum wells were grown by all gas source chemical beam epitaxy (CBE). Their optical properties were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and optical absorption measurements. The thinnest Ga_xIn_1?xAs layer was 6Å-thick (2 monolayers) for Ga_0.47In_0.53As and 3Å-thick (1 monolayer) for InAs. In PL measurements, we found that for strained materials (x<0.47) luminescence intensity dropped with decreasing barrier thickness. Optical absorption properties were measured at room temperature, and excitonic absorption peaks were clearly observed. The wavelengths of excitonic peaks were in good agreement with a theoretical estimation obtained by using an effective mass approximation including heavy and light hole energy splitting at the γ point.     

Co-Implantation and autocompensation in close contact rapid thermal annealing of Si-implanted GaAs:Cr

Close contact rapid thermal annealing of semi-insulating GaAs:Cr implanted with Si, Si + Al, and Si + P has been studied using variable temperature Hall effect measurements and low temperature (4.2K) photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Isochronal (10 sec) and isothermal (1000° C) anneals indicate that As is lost from the surface during close contact annealing at high anneal temperatures and long anneal times. Samples which were implanted with Si alone show maximum activation at an annealing temperature of 900° C, above which activation efficiency decreases. Low temperature Hall and PL measurements indicate that this reduced activation is due to increasing auto-compensation of Si donors by Si acceptors at higher anneal temperatures. However, co-implantation of column V elements can increase the activation of Si implants by reducing Si occupancy of As sites and increasing Si occupancy of Ga sites, and therebyoffset the effects of As loss from the surface. For samples implanted with Si + P, activation increases continuously up to a maximum at an anneal temperature of 1050° C, and both low temperature Hall and PL measurements indicate that autocompensation does not increase in this case as the anneal temperature increases. In contrast, samples implanted with Si + Al show very low activation and very high compensation at all anneal temperatures, as expected. The use of column V co-implants in conjunction with close contact RTA can produce excellent donor activation of Si implanted GaAs.     

Super-flat interfaces in In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum wells grown on (411)A InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy

Effectively atomically flat interfaces over a macroscopic area (“(411)A super-flat interfaces”) were successfully achieved in In_0.53Ga_0.47As/In_0.52Al_0.48As quantum wells (QWs) grown on (411)A InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at a substrate temperature of 570°C and V/III=6. Surface morphology of the In_0.53Ga_0.47As/In_0.52Al_0.48As QWs was smooth and featureless, while a rough surface of those simultaneously grown on a (100) InP substrate was observed. Photoluminescence (PL) linewidths at 4.2 K from the (411)A QWs with well width of 0.6–12 nm were 20–30 % narrower than those grown on a (100) InP substrate and also they are almost as narrow as each of split PL peaks for those of growth-interrupted QWs on a (100) InP substrate. In the case of the (411)A QWs, only one PL peak with very narrow linewidth was observed from each QW over a large distance (7 mm) on a wafer.
