ABSTRACTIn this work we demonstrate that photopumped quantum wellheterostructure lasers with excellent optical quality can be grown ontop of a LT GaAs buffer layer by molecular beam epitaxy. Hightemperature thermal annealing of these lasers blue-shifts the laseremission wavelengths but the presence/absence of a LT GaAs layerhad little effect on the overall laser thresholds. Also, to first order itwas not necessary to include an AlAs barrier layer to preventadverse effects (as has been necessary in the gate stack of MESFETs to prevent carrier compensation).

AbstractAIGaN/GaN quantum well (QWs) were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using ammonia as nitrogen precursor. The Al composition in the barriers was varied between 8 and 27 % and the well thickness from 4 to 17 monolayers (MLs, 1ML = 2.59Å). X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments are used to investigate the strain state of both the well and the barriers. The QW transition energy are measured by low temperature photoluminescence (PL). A large quantum confined Stark effect is observed leading to QW luminescence much lower than the emission line of the GaN buffer layer for well width above a certain critical thickness. The built-in electric field responsible for such a phenomenon is deduced from fit of the PL data. Its magnitude is of several hundred kV/cm and increases linearly with the Al composition.
