AbstractSpectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) has been used for the characterization of AlGaN/GaN and InGaN/GaN heterostructures. The resulting pseudodielectric function spectra were analyzed using a multilayer approach, describing the dielectric functions of the individual layers by a parametric oscillator model. From this analysis, the dielectric function spectra of GaN, AlxGa1−xN (x≤0.16), and In0.13Ga0.87N were deduced. Further, the dependence of the AlxGa1−xN band gap energy on the Al mole fraction was derived and compared with photoluminescence data recorded on the same material. The SE band gap data are compatible with a bowing parameter close to 1 eV for the composition dependence of the AlxGa1−xN gap energy. Finally, the parametric dielectric functions have been used to model the pseudodielectric function spectrum of a complete GaN/AlGaN/InGaN LED structure.

We report on the composition dependence of the band gap energy of strained hexagonal InxGa1−xN layers on GaN with x≤0.15, grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire substrates. The composition of the (InGa)N was determined by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. High-resolution X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed that the (InGa)N layers with typical thicknesses of 30 nm are pseudomorphically strained to the in-plane lattice parameter of the underlying GaN. Room-temperature photoreflection spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry were used to determine the (InGa)N band gap energy. The composition dependence of the band gap energy of the strained (InGa)N layers was found to be given by EG(x)=3.43−3.28 × (eV) for x≤0.15. When correcting for the strain induced shift of the fundamental energy gap, a bowing parameter of 3.2 eV was obtained for the composition dependence of the gap energy of unstrained (InGa)N.

The valence band anticrossing model has been used to calculate the heavy/light hole and spin-orbit split-off energies inInAs1-xBixandInSb1-xBixalloy systems. It is found that both the heavy/light hole, and spin-orbit splitE+levels move upwards in energy with an increase in Bi content in the alloy, whereas the splitE−energy for the holes shows a reverse trend. The model is also used to calculate the reduction of band gap energy with an increase in Bi mole fraction. The calculated values of band gap variation agree well with the available experimental data.

AbstractWe report on the composition dependence of the band gap energy of strained hexagonal InGal-,N layers on GaN with x≤0.15, grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire substrates. The composition of the (InGa)N was determined by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. High-resolution X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed that the (InGa)N layers with typical thicknesses of 30 nm are pseudomorphically strained to the in-plane lattice parameter of the underlying GaN. Room-temperature photoreflection spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry were used to determine the (InGa)N band gap energy. The composition dependence of the band gap energy of the strained (InGa)N layers was found to be given by EG(x)=3.43-3.28.x (eV) for x≤0.15. When correcting for the strain induced shift of the fundamental energy gap, a bowing parameter of 3.2 eV was obtained for the composition dependence of the gap energy of unstrained (InGa)N.
