PHOTOLUMINESCENCE STUDIES OF SINGLE SUBMONOLAYER INAS STRUCTURES GROWN ON GAAS (001) MATRIX

Optical properties of single submonolayer InAs structures grown on GaAs (001) matrix are systematically investigated by means of photoluminescence acid time-resolved photoluminescence, It is shown that the formation of InAs dots with 1 ML height leads to localization of excitons under certain submonolayer InAs coverages, which play a key role in the highly improved luminescence efficiency of the submonolayer InAs/GaAs structures.

研究了用金属有机物气相外延（MOVPE）方法在GaAs(001)衬底上生长的立方相GaN(c-GaN)外延层的光辅助湿法腐蚀特性，并和生长在蓝宝石（0001）衬底上的六方相GaN(h-GaN)外延层的光辅助湿法座蚀特性进行了比较。实验发现c-GaN膜的暗态电流和光电流的变化不同于h-GaN膜的腐蚀电流的变化规律。对引起上述差异的原因进行了简单的讨论。

Etching Behavior of GaN/GaAs(001) Epilayers Grown by MOVPE

Wet etching characteristics of cubic GAN (c-GaN) thin films grown on GaAs(001) by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) are investigated. The samples are etched in HCl, H_3PO_4, KOH aqueous solutions, and molten KOH at temperatures in the range of 90～300 ℃. It is found that different solution produces different etch figure on the surfaces of a sample. KOH-based solutions produce rectangular pits rather than square pits. The etch pits elongate in [1(1-bar)0] direction, indicating asymmetric etching behavior in the two orthogonal <110> directions. An explanation based on relative reactivity of the various crystallographic planes is employed to interpret qualitatively the asymmetric etching behavior. In addition, it is found that KOH aqueous solution would be more suitable than molten KOH and the two acids for the evaluation of stacking faults in c-GaN epilayers.

MOCVD方法制备的立方GaN/GaAs（001）中六角相含量退火行为的研究

采用高温热退火的方法，在不同条件下对低压MOCVD在GaAs(001)衬底制备的立方GaN薄膜进行处理，利用光致发光光谱和Raman散射光谱来研究六角相的含量变化。报道了亚稳态立方GaN的六角相含量变化条件及其光学特征。在GaN/GaAs之间存在一个界面层，高温退火时，来自界面层的TO_B，LO_B声子的强度降低，而来自六角相的E_2声子增强，说明六角相含量增加。样品原结晶质量欠佳是六角相含量变化发生的主要原因。在较低的温度下，六角相含量没有明显变化，而且与退火时间无关。

The effect of low temperature GaAs nucleation on the growth of GaN on Silicon (001) during MOVPE process

High quality cubic GaN was grown on Silicon (001) by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) using a GaAs nucleation layer grown at low temperature. The influence of various nucleation conditions on the GaN epilayers' quality was investigated. We found that the GaAs nucleation layer grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) could improve the quality of GaN films by depressing the formation of mixed phase. Photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the properties of GaN epilayers. High quality GaN epilayers with PL full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 130meV at room temperature and X-ray FWHM of 70 arc-min were obtained by using 10-20nm GaAs nucleation layer grown by ALE.

Orientation relationship between hexagonal inclusions and cubic GaN grown on GaAs(001) substrates

Cubic GaN/GaAs(0 0 1) epilayers and hexagonal inclusions are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The X-ray {0 0 0 2} and (1 0 (1) over bar 0) pole figures show that the orientation relationships between cubic GaN and hexagonal inclusions are (1 1 1)//(0 0 0 1), <1 1 2 >//<1 0 (1) over bar 0 >. The distribution of hexagonal inclusions mainly results from the interfacial bonding disorder in the grain boundaries parallel to hexagonal <0 0 0 1 > directions and the lattice mismatch in <0 0 0 1 > directions on {1 0 (1) over bar 0} planes. In order to reduce the energy increase in cubic epilayers, hexagonal lamellas with smaller sizes in <0 0 0 1 > directions often nucleate inside the buffer layer or near the interface between the buffer layer and the epitaxial layer, and penetrate through the whole epitaxial layer with this orientation relationship.

The content calculation of hexagonal phase inclusions in cubic GaN films on GaAs(001) substrates grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Cubic GaN(c-GaN) films are grown on GaAs(001) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Two GaN samples were grown with different buffer layer, the deposition time of each was 1 and 3 min, respectively. 4-circle X-ray double crystal diffraction (XRDCD) was used to study the secondary crystallographic phases presented in the c-GaN films. The phase composition of the epilayers was determined by X-ray reciprocal space mapping. The intensities of the c-GaN(002) and h-GaN(10 (1) over bar 1) planes detected in the mapping were investigated by omega scans. The content of the hexagonal phase inclusions in the c-GaN films was calculated to about 1.6 and 7.9%, respectively. The thicker buffer layer is not preferable for growing high quality pure c-GaN films. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Photoluminescence study on coarsening of self-assembled InAlAs quantum dots on GaAs (001)

Red-emission at similar to 640 nm from self-assembled In0.55Al0.45As/Al0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots grown on GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been demonstrated. We obtained a double-peak structure of photoluminescence (PL) spectra from quantum dots. An atomic force micrograph (AFM) image for uncapped sample also shows a bimodal distribution of dot sizes. From the temperature and excitation intensity dependence of PL spectra, we found that the double-peak structure of PL spectra from quantum dots was strongly correlated to the two predominant quantum dot families. Taking into account quantum-size effect on the peak energy, we propose that the high (low) energy peak results from a smaller (larger) dot family, and this result is identical with the statistical distribution of dot lateral size from the AFM image.
