Low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of InP onexactly oriented Si(OOl) substrates with a periodic V-groove pattern of periodicity ≤1.2 μm using a two temperature growth sequence
(400 and 640°C) is reported. Planar InP layers with extremely low defect density of 7 × 104 cm−2 are obtained. For InP on V-grooves of width g ≤1.0μm, a planar surface is formed after less than 1 μm of growth. Formation
or suppression of antiphase domains (APDs) is a function of the widths of the (OOl)-oriented ridges. For s ≤1 μm, epilayers
are single domain and the
direction is oriented parallel to the grooves. At 400°C, nucleation starts homogeneously on {111}-sidewallsand (001)-facets. While heating up to 640°C, InP migrates into the grooves, depleting almost completely the (001)-facets. During
growth of the main layer, first the V-grooves are filled up. Subsequently (001)-ridges are overgrown laterally or voids are
formed on top of them. This mechanism is responsible for both planarization and APD-suppression. The surface migration length
of InP on Si(001) at 640°C is estimated to be ≈0.5 μm. 相似文献

Growth of InAs1−xSbx alloys by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at 475°C results in CuPt ordering even at Sb concentrations as low as x
= 0.07-0.14. The two {111}B variants are present, but each exists separately in 1-2 μm regions. However, the ordering is incomplete: it occurs in platelet
domains lying on habit planes tilted 30° from (001) within a disordered matrix and is not continuous at the atomic scale within
the domains. This ordering apparently explains the reduction in infrared emission energies relative to the bandgaps of bulk
alloys. Similar ordering is found in an InAs0.91Sb0.09/In0.g7Ga0.13As strained-layer superlattice with lower-than-expected emission energy. High-resolution images indicate that the superlattice
layers flat and regularly spaced. Infrared LEDs have been made from such superlattices. 相似文献

Transmission electron diffraction (TED) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies have been made of organometallic
vapor phase epitaxial GaxIn1−xP layers (x ≈ 0.5) grown at temperatures in the range 570–690°C to investigate ordering and ordered domain structures. TED
and TEM examination shows that the size and morphology of ordered domains depend on the growth temperature. The ordered domains
change from a fine rod-like shape to a plate-like shape as the growth temperature increases. The domains are of width 0.6∼2
nm and of length 1∼10 nm. Characteristic diffuse features observed in TED patterns are found to depend on the growth temperature.
Extensive computer simulations show a direct correlation between the ordered domain structures and such diffuse features.
A possible model is suggested to describe the temperature dependence of the ordered domain structure. 相似文献

GaAs/Ga1−xInxAs strained layer superlattices with well-widths of 7 nm, barrier widths of 14 nm and periods of 10 to 30 have been examined
by transmission electron microscopy in plan view and in cross-section for (001), (111) and (112) substrates. Individual layers
are below the critical thickness while the overall SLS's are above the critical thickness for dislocation generation. (001)
substrates give rise to square grids of 60° dislocations lying parallel to 〈110〉 directions with inclined 1/2 〈101〉 Burgers
vectors, resulting from dislocation motion on 8 slip systems. (111) substrates give triangular networks of 60° dislocations
lying parallel to 〈110〉 directions resulting from motion on 6 slip systems. (112) substrates have two sets of primary dislocations
lying along (132) directions, along with secondary 60° dislocations lying along [110]. Long Lomer-Cottrell dislocations with
Burgers vectors lying parallel to the substrate/SLS interface are occasionally observed for (001) substrates, while short
segments are observed for (112) substrates; these are formed by reaction between conjugate dislocations. These dislocations
arrangements are discussed in terms of the resolved shear stresses resulting from epitaxy for the various substrates orientations.
Dislocation densities are much less than those required for complete strain relief. This is analyzed in terms of the reduction
in the stress acting on dislocations from partial strain relief, along with a friction stress due to a combination of the
Peierls stress and solution hardening from the In substitution. A friction stress ∼10-3μ is required to explain the observed dislocation densities (μ, is the shear modulus). 相似文献

We describe the epitaxial growth of InSb films on both Si (001) and GaAs (100) substrates using molecular-beam epitaxy and
discuss the structural and electrical properties of the resulting films. The complete 2 μm InSb films on GaAs (001) were grown
at temperatures between 340°C and 420°C and with an Sb/In flux ratio of approximately 5 and a growth rate of 0.2 nm/s. The
films were characterized in terms of background electron concentration, mobility, and x-ray rocking curve width. Our best
results were for a growth temperature of 350°C, resulting in room-temperature mobility of 41,000 cm2/V s. For the growth of InSb on Si, vicinal Si(001) substrates offcut by 4° toward (110) were used. We investigated growth
temperatures between 340°C and 430°C for growth on Si(001). In contrast to growth on GaAs, the best results were achieved
at the high end of the range of T
S = C, resulting in a mobility of 26,100 cm2/V s for a 2 μm film. We also studied the growth and properties of InSb:Mn films on GaAs with Mn content below 1%. Our results
showed the presence of ferromagnetic ordering in the samples, opening a new direction in the diluted magnetic semiconductors. 相似文献

Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) via the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) reaction was used to grow ZnSe nanowires (NWs) on (111), (100),
and (110) oriented GaAs substrates. Through detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies, it was found that 〈111〉
orientation is the growth direction for NWs with size ≥30 nm, while NWs with size around 10 nm prefer to grow along the 〈110〉
direction, with a small portion along the 〈112〉 direction. These observations have led to the realization of vertical ZnSe
NWs with size around 10 nm grown on a GaAs (110) substrate. An ordered ZnSe NW array fabricated on a GaAs (111) substrate
with a novel prepatterning method associated with plasma etching shows a high degree of ordering and a good size uniformity
of the as-grown NWs. The diameter of the NWs in the array is around 80 nm and most of them are found to orient vertically,
but some tilt to one of the six possible directions of the 〈111〉 family. 相似文献

Epitaxial PZT (001) thin films with a LaNiO3 bottom electrode were deposited by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering onto Si(001) single-crystal substrates with SrTiO3/TiN buffer layers. Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) samples were shown to consist of a single perovskite phase and to have an (001) orientation. The orientation relationship
was determined to be PZT(001)[110]∥LaNiO3(001)[110]∥SrTiO3 (001)[110]∥TiN(001)[110]∥Si(001)[110]. Atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements showed the PZT films to have smooth surfaces
with a roughness of 1.15 nm. The microstructure of the multilayer was studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Electrical measurements were conducted using both Pt and LaNiO3 as top electrodes. The measured remanent polarization P
r and coercive field E
c of the PZT thin film with Pt top electrodes were 23 μC/cm2 and 75 kV/cm, and were 25 μC/cm2 and 60 kV/cm for the PZT film with LaNiO3 top electrodes. No obvious fatigue after 1010 switching cycles indicated good electrical endurance of the PZT films using LaNiO3 electrodes, compared with the PZT film with Pt top electrodes showing a significant polarization loss after 108 cycles. These PZT films with LaNiO3 electrodes could be potential recording media for probe-based high-density data storage. 相似文献

We have successfully deposited epitaxial titanium nitride films on (001) silicon and (001) gallium arsenide substrates and
multilayer Si/TiN/Si(001) epitaxial heterostructures using pulsed laser (KrF: λ = 248 nm, τ = 25 ns) physical vapor deposition.
The deposition of TiN was carried out at a substrate temperature of 600°C on Si(001) and 400°C on GaAs(00l). The interfaces
were sharp without any indication of interfacial reaction. The epitaxial relationships were found to be <001> TiN ‖<001> Si
on the silicon substrate, <001> Si ‖<001> TiN |<001> Si on the heterostructure, and [1-10] TiN‖[110] GaAs and [001] TiN ‖[110]
GaAs on the GaAs substrate. The growth in these large-mismatch systems is modeled and the various energy terms contributing
to the growth of these films are determined. The domain matching epitaxy provides a mechanism of epitaxial growth in systems
with large lattice mismatch.The epitaxial growth is characterized by domain epitaxial orientation relationships with m lattice
constants of epilayer matching with n of the substrate and with a small residual domain mismatch present in the epilayer.
This residual mismatch is responsible for a coherent strain energy. The magnitude of compression of Ti-N bond in the first
atomic layer, contributing to the chemical free energy of the interface during the initial stages of growth, is found to be
a very important factor in determining the orientation relationship. This result was used to explain the differences in the
orientaion relationships between TiN/Si and TiN/GaAs systems. The various energy terms associated with the domain epitaxial
growth are evaluated to illustrate that the domain epitaxial growth is energetically favorable compared to the lattice mismatched
epitaxial growth. The results of this analysis illustrate that the observed variations in the epitaxial growth are consistent
with the minimum energy configurations associated with the domain epitaxial growth. 相似文献

We applied high resolution x-ray diffraction techniques to determine the three dimensional domain shape in nominally lattice-matched,
CuPtB ordered, InxGa1−xP epitaxial layers deposited on GaAs by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. A technique of reciprocal space mapping is described
which provides three-dimensional information on the shape and size of the ordered domains. The domain shape is obtained by
reciprocal space mapping along orthogonal crystallographic directions. Applying this technique shows that, at large miscut
angles, the domains are oriented close to the growth direction, and are elongated by differing extents along the [110] and
[

We present a systematic study of the photoluminescence of undoped GaAs layers deposited by MOCVD on Si substrates. The study
includes an examination of substrate and layer thickness effects in thin GaAs layers, and a detailed investigation of the
stress effects on the intrinsic band-edge transitions in thicker samples. For sample thickness,t ≤ 0.5(μm), we observe strong midgap emission bands associated with defects close to the interface. These bands depend strongly on the
nature of the Si substrate. The crystal quality improves with sample thickness, and fort ≥ 0.5 μm the emission is dominated by lines in the band edge region which are relatively independent of substrate preparation.
Photoluminescence excitation spectra reveal that the highest energy line is due to an intrinsic exciton transition, and that
a splitting of this line observed fort ≥ 2 μm reflects the presence of two different regions of strain in the material. The magnitude of the strain is estimated
from the shift of the exciton lines relative to unstrained GaAs, and is found to be consistent with an upper limit provided
by the thermal expansion mismatch between GaAs and Si. 相似文献

HgTe nanowires have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). They are nucleated at Au particles on Si or GaAs substrates
and subsequently self-organize and grow laterally on the surface into 20–50 nm wide, 0.5–1 μm long twisted, but single-crystal, wires. Further growth gives longer, wider, and straighter polycrystalline wires. When
unimpeded by Au particles on the surface, the wires become straight and consist of segments of cubic 〈111〉 HgTe and hexagonal
〈001〉 Te parallel to the wire. Te nanowires and Au␣nanowires have also occasionally been formed. All attempts to grow CdHgTe
on Si substrates with or without Au particles have resulted in polycrystalline layers. The phase diagrams and diffusion coefficients
imply that CdHgTe or HgTe nanowires will not grow by the vapor–liquid–solid technique at the low MBE growth temperatures.

Detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and transmission electron diffraction (TED) examination has been made of metalorganic
molecular beam epitaxial GaAsN layers grown on (001) GaAs substrates. TEM results show that lateral composition modulation
occurs in the GaAs1−xNx layer (x 6.75%). It is shown that increasing N composition and Se (dopant) concentration leads to poor crystallinity. It
is also shown that the addition of Se increases N composition. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) results show that the surfaces
of the samples experience a morphological change from faceting to islanding, as the N composition and Se concentration increase.
Based on the TEM and AFM results, a simple model is given to explain the formation of the lateral composition modulation. 相似文献

We have studied the heteroepitaxial growth of Zn(Mg)BeSe alloys on both GaAs and Si substrates. X-ray measurements show that
ZnMgBeSe quaternary alloys can be grown with a high structural quality on GaAs(001). Linewidths as low as to 20 arcsec have
been obtained from double x-ray diffraction and the etch pit density is in the range of 10−3 cm−2. The growth of ZnBeSe ternary alloys on vicinal Si(001) substrates has been investigated. Optical properties of Zn0.55Be0.45Se which is lattice-matched to silicon have been studied by photoluminescence and reflectivity and a fundamental bandgap E0 of 3.85 eV has been measured. Therefore, this material is a potential candidate for ultraviolet B detection. However, it
is important to note that these measurements are not conclusive about the direct nature of alloys bandgaps. 相似文献

We have measured the resistivity ρ and Hall coefficient RH at 300, 77, and 4.2 K of p-type Pb1−XCdXS epitaxial films as a function of substrate temperature Ts, film thickness d, and composition x. The films were vapor deposited on cleaved (111) BaF2 (111) SrF2 , and (001) NaCl and polished (001) BaF2 substrates. The Hall mobility μH at 77 K of p-type PbS films increased approximately linearly from 1 × 104 to 2 × 104 cm2 V−1 sec−1 as Ts was varied from 400 to 500°C, respectively. Both μH and RH increased with d due to the presence of a strong p-type surface layer on the exposed surface. The x of the films was controlled
by the x of the source material and Ts. The mole fraction of CdS could be varied between 0.002 < x < 0.06 by varying T between 513 and 410°C, respectively, and
using source material with x = 0.06. The electrical properties of samples grown on freshly cleaved (111) BaF2 and (111) SrF2 were essentially identical even though the lattice constant of SrF2 is a better match to Pb1−XCdXS than BaF2. The RH and μH at 77 K were independent of thickness for low substrate temperatures and were observed to increase with increasing thickness
for high substrate temperatures. The μH increased with decreasing temperature and became temperature independent below about 30 K, which is similar to the behavior
observed in other lead salt compounds. However, the magnitude of μH was considerable lower throughout the 300 to 4.2 K temperature range than for PbS films. The RH showed little temperature variation, which is typical lead salt behavior.

Lattice-matched In0.49Ga0.51P/GaAs superlattices were grown on (001) GaAs substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The interface properties
were characterized by photoluminescence, transmission electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. By varying the growth temperature,
the precursor flow rates, and the growth interruption at the interfaces, we found that, while arsenic and phosphorus carry
over have some effect on the formation of a low-bandgap InGaAsP quaternary layer at the interfaces, the In surface segregation
seems to play an important role in the formation of the interface quaternary layer. Evidence of this indium segregation comes
from x-ray and photoluminescence studies of samples grown at different temperatures. These studies show that the formation
of an interfacial layer is more prominent when the growth temperature is higher. Growing a thin (∼1 monolayer thick) GaP intentional
interfacial layer on top of the InGaP before the growth of the GaAs layer at the P→As transition effectively suppresses the
formation of the low-bandgap unintentional interface layer. On the other hand, the growth of a thin GaAsP (or GaP) layer before
the growth of the InGaP layer, at the As→P transition increases the formation of a low-bandgap interfacial layer. This nonequivalent
effect of a GaP layer at the two interfaces on the PL properties is discussed. 相似文献

The formation of the dielectric isolation of elements of microelectronic devices by oxidizing grooves in single-crystal silicon
is considered. The new technological process makes it possible to shorten the manufacturing cycle and to improve the reliability
and parameters of devices. It is shown that this result is attained by substantially shortening the time of oxidation of silicon,
suppressing the “bird’s beak” irregularity, and reducing the capacitance of the metal-insulator-semiconductor structure through
the etching of grooves with certain geometric parameters in silicon nitride. These parameters are the groove width 0.5–1.5
μm, the ratio of the width to the spacing between the grooves 0.56: 0.44, and the groove depth, which is larger than the width.
The results of two-dimensional physical simulation support the advantages of the new technology over the standard process.
The simulation was accomplished with the use of the SSUPREM4 program of the Silvaco bundled software. 相似文献

We report optical measurements (photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and infrared reflectance) of direct band gap and of optical
phonon energies of BexZn1−x
Se alloys grown by MBE on (001) GaAs substrates for a wide range of Be concentrations. The high band gap of BeSe (5.15 eV)
suggests the possibility of using isoternary alloys for ultraviolet optoelectronic applications. BexZn1−x
Se has the unique advantage that it can be lattice matched to Si at about x=0.5. We observed a strong linear shift of the BexZn1−x
Se direct band gap to higher energies with increasing Be content (to 3.63 eV for x=0.34). Furthermore, optical phonon parameters for the entire range of BeSe content have been obtained. Finally, polarized
infrared and Raman spectra revealed local atomic ordering (anti-clustering) effects in the group-II sublattice.

This paper reports on a detailed study of the development of the close space sublimation method, which has been widely used
in the preparation of polycrystalline CdTe/CdS solar cells, as an epitaxial method for the growth of thick CdTe single crystal
films over 200 μm on GaAs and Ge substrates for high-energy radiation detectors. The resulting microscopic growth phenomena in the process
are also discussed in this paper. High-quality single crystalline CdTe thick films were prepared with x-ray rocking curves
full width at half maximum (FWHM) values, which were ∼100 arcsec on Ge substrates and 300 arcsec on GaAs substrates. The quality
of thick films on Ge(100) showed a substantial improvement with nucleation in a Te-rich growth environment. No Te inclusions
in the CdTe films grown on GaAs(211)B and Ge(100) were observed with IR transmission imaging. Photoluminescence of CdTe/Ge
shows a large reduction in the 1.44 eV defect energy bands compared with films grown on GaAs substrates. The film resistivity
is on the order of 1010 Ω cm, and the film displayed some sensitivity to alpha particles. 相似文献

We report a comparative study on spectral and morphological properties of two blend systems for polymer solar cells: the donor material poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) in combination with the acceptor material of either [6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) or indene-C60 bisadduct (ICBA) that was reported to enhance efficiencies of polymer solar cells. Optical microscopy and grazing incidence X-ray scattering reveal the stronger tendency of PCBM to from larger and more ordered domains/grains than ICBA either in pure or blend films. Compared to PCBM, the presence of ICBA also substantially perturbs the organization and longer-range ordering of P3HT in increasing the ICBA ratio in blends. With larger and more ordered phase-separated domains, the P3HT/PCBM blend films exhibit significant optical scattering at higher PCBM ratios. Yet, such optical scattering is not significant for P3HT/ICBA blends (even with high ICBA ratios). Overall, results here suggest the reported higher efficiencies of P3HT/ICBA solar cells (vs. P3HT/PCBM cells) cannot be attributed to larger and/or more ordered phase-separated donor–acceptor domains and other characteristics play more important roles in this case. 相似文献
