GaAs／AlAs DBR的GSMBE优化生长及表征

采用气态源分子束外延（GSMBE）技术优化生长了GaAs／AlAs分布布拉格反射镜（DBR）材料，并用X射线衍射（XRD）及反射光谱对其生长质量进行了表征。结果表明，采用5S间断生长的GaAs／AlAs DBR材料质量和界面质量优于无间断生长，并且10对GaAs／AlAs DBR的质量优于30对，说明DBR对数越多，周期厚度波动越大，材料质量越差。优化生长得到的30对GaAs／AlAsDBR的反射率大于99％，中心波长为1316nm，与理论设计结构的模拟结果基本一致，可用作1．3μm垂直腔面发射激光器（VVSEL）直接键合的反射腔镜。

Interface structure in arsenide/phosphide heterostructun grown by gas-source MBE and low-pressure MOVPE

We have used cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study interface structure in arsenide/phosphide heterostructures grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) and by low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-MOVPE). High-resolution images of GSMBE samples consisting of GaAs interrupted at 200Å intervals with a 40 s P₂ flux reveal substantial, growth-temperature-dependent incorporation of phosphorus with nanometer-scale lateral variations in interface structure. STM images of InGaAs/InP multiple quantum well structures grown by LP-MOVPE show evidence of interface asymmetry and extensive atomic cross-incorporation at the interfaces. Data obtained by STM have been corroborated by high-resolution x-ray diffraction and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. Together, these studies provide direct information about nanometer-scale grading and lateral nonuniformity of arsenide/phosphide interfaces that can occur under these growth conditions.     

Photoluminescence and interface abruptness in InGaAsP/InGaAsP quantum wells

Quantum well (QW) structures consisting of InGaAsP wells and InGaAsP barriers grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy have been examined by low temperature photoluminescence (PL) in order to evaluate the contributions of compositional fluctuations in the quaternary alloy and of interface roughness to the PL linewidth. The well material was InGaAsP with a bandgap corresponding to a wavelength of 1.3 μm and the barrier material was InGaAsP of 1.15 μm. The theory for QW excitonic linewidths as a function of well thickness L_z due to fluctuations in alloy composition has been extended to include the case of the quaternary InGaAsP barrier. If the interfaces are atomically abrupt, the linewidth is dominated by compositional fluctuations in the well at large L_z and compositional fluctuations in the barrier at small L_z. The theory predicts a weak dependence of the linewidth on L_z since the composition of the well and barrier are similar. For rough heterointerfaces, the theory indicates the usual increase in linewidth with decreasing L_z. Photoluminescence measurements at 13K in arrays of single InGaAsP/InGaAsP QWs with L_z from 1.0 to 6.0 nm show only a weak variation of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) with L_z, in agreement with the theory for smooth interfaces. Furthermore, the lowest measured FWHM of 8.9 meV was found for a narrow well of L_z=1.8 nm, indicating the InGaAsP/InGaAsP interfaces are smooth and that the PL linewidth is dominated by compositional fluctuations.

Determination of the Band Offset of GalnP- GaAs and AllnP- GaAs Quantum Wells by Optical Spectroscopy

We report the determination of band offset ratios, using photoluminescence excitation measurements, for GaInP/GaAs and AlInP/GaAs quantum wells grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. To reduce the uncertainty related to the intermixing layer at heterointerfaces, the residual group-V source evacuation time was optimized for abrupt GalnP/GaAs (AlInP/GaAs) interfaces. Based upon thickness and composition values determined by double-crystal x-ray diffraction simulation and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, the transition energies of GalnP/GaAs and AlInP/GaAs quantum wells were calculated using a three-band Kane model with varying band-offset ratios. The best fit of measured data to calculated transition energies suggests that the valence-band offset ratio (γ band discontinuity) was 0.63 ± 0.05 for GalnP/GaAs and 0.54 ± 0.05 for AlInP/GaAs heterostructures. This result showed good agreement with photoluminescence data, indicating that the value is independent of temperature.     

Properties of lnAsxP1-x layer formed by P-As exchange reaction on (001)lnP surface exposed to As4 beam

The P-As exchange reaction on InP surface exposed to As₄ beam was studied using photoluminescence (PL) and x-ray diffraction measurements as well as ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy observation. It was found that as high as 90–95% of P can be exchanged by As and that the average depth of exchange reaction increases with the increase of As exposure time, being as deep as 5.5 ML for a long exposure. The splitting of PL peak takes place when the reaction depth exceeds 2 ML and the number of the split subpeaks increases with the increase of As exposure time. The PL peak splitting originates from the fluctuation of well thickness, caused by formation of InAs islands for strain relief during the exchange reaction.
