ABSTRACTThe influence of sample orientation and polarity on the blue emission from As-doped GaN layers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) was investigated. Arsenic doped GaN layers were grown under identical PA-MBE conditions on several types of substrates including c-plane (0001) sapphire and polar and non-polar GaN templates grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Non-polar GaN MOVPE templates were grown on aplane (11–20) sapphire and LiAlO2 (100). The orientation and polarity have a strong influence on the morphology and the optical properties of As-doped GaN layers. Strong blue emission from As-doped GaN was observed only in the case of (000–1) oriented N-polarity layers.

In the presented work, the influence of the quantum well and barrier thicknesses on optical characteristics of InGaAs/AlInAs superlattices was reported. Six different structures of In0.53Ga0.47As/Al0.48In0.52As superlattices lattice-matched to InP were grown by low pressure metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (LP-MOVPE). Optical properties of the obtained structures were examined by means of photoluminescence spectroscopy. This technique allows quick, simple and non-destructive measurements of radiative optical transitions in different semiconductor heterostructures. The analysis of recorded photoluminescence spectra revealed the influence of the quantum well and barrier thicknesses on the emission line energy.

ABSTRACTInvestigations on standing wave (SW) interferometry come in focus of interest in the course of ongoing miniaturization of high precision length measurement systems. A key problem within these efforts is the development of a transparent ultra-thin photodetector for sampling the intensity profile of the generated SW. Group III-materials are promising candidates to ensure a good photodetector performance combined with the required optical transparency. In this work, we report on the interrelation of strain and dislocation density along with the influence of the structural properties on the sensitivity of double-heterostructure III-nitride photodetectors grown by molecular beam and metal organic vapour phase epitaxy.

AbstractMisfit dislocations (MDs) have been observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in InGaN/GaN quantum well (MQW) structures grown under different metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) regimes and with In-contents equal to or higher than 20%. These dislocations are even observed in a single quantum well 3 nm thick with an In-content of 22%. Conversely, no MDs were observed in QW structures with an In-content of 16%. The presence of MDs in the QW stack leads to strain relaxation which has been confirmed in the indium-rich structures by high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD).
