ABSTRACTA new method to realize InGaAsSbN quantum well (QW) structures on GaAs substrate is presented. This approach combines the established growth technique of InGaAsN and InGaAsSb QWs by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), with a post-growth thermal interdiffusion to achieve high quality interdiffused InGaAsSbN QW for diode lasers emitting at 1300-1550-nm. In addition to presenting the optimized interdiffused SbN-based QW design at 1550-nm, strain-compensated interdiffused InGaAsSb-GaAsN QW structure is also presented. Preliminary experimental findings of N- and Sb-diffusivities in GaAs matrix show good agreement with theory, indicating the feasibility of realizing interdiffused InGaAsSbN QW.

AbstractDeep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) studies of both p-type (uid) and n-type (Sidoped), lattice-matched, 1.05 eV bandgap InGaAsN grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) are reported, and the results are compared to previous measurements of similar materials grown by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD). In MBE-grown p-type InGaAsN, two majority-carrier hole traps were observed: H3' (0.37 eV) and H4' (0.51 eV), and no evidence was found for the presence of minority-carrier electron traps. These two traps appear to be similar to two levels, H3 (0.48 eV) and H4 (0.5 eV), previously characterized in MOCVD-grown InGaAsN. In MBE-grown n-type InGaAsN, we observed a shallow distribution of electron levels, E1' (0 < EA < 0.35 eV), as well as a deep electron trap E4' (0.56 eV) and a deep hole trap H5' (0.71 eV). E1' appears to be coincident with a superposition of two levels observed in MOCVD-grown InGaAsN, a shallow distribution termed E1 (0 < EA < 0.20 eV) and a discrete (though broadened) level E3 (0.34 eV). Further, E4' appears to be similar in character to a level observed in MOCVD-grown material, E4 (0.82 eV), although a disparity in activation energy exists. This disparity may be due to a temperature-dependent capture cross-section for one or both levels, a possibility that is currently under investigation. In contrast, H5' appears to have no analogue in MOCVD-grown material and thus may be unique to the MBE growth technique.
