Abstract: | High-quality AlxGa1−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 AlxGa1−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 Al0.25Ga0.75As. A 39 period Al0.28Ga0.72As (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. |
