ABSTRACTWe report on the optimum growth conditions for Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) growth of InSb onto InSb (111)A and (111)B substrates. It was found that for (111)A substrates the optimum epilayer morphology was obtained for growth temperatures above 385°C and with a Sb:In ratio of 1.5:1. In contrast, for the (111)B surface, best morphology was found for growth temperatures above 385°C but with V:III ratio of ∼7.0:1. In both cases the dopant incorporation was found to be the same as the (100) surface and did not particularly depend either on V:III ratio or substrate temperature. We also describe the device characteristics of InAlSb light emitting diodes (LEDs) grown lattice matched onto ternary InGaSb(111)A substrates using the optimized growth conditions obtained.

Abstract:We report on a strong effect of p-GaN surface morphology on the growth mode and surface roughness of ZnO:Ga films grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy on p-GaN/c-sapphire templates. A range of ZnO:Ga surface morphologies varying from rough surfaces with well defined three-dimensional islands, capable to enhance light extraction in light-emitting diodes, to rather smooth surfaces with a surface roughness of ~ 2 nm suitable for vertical-cavity lasers can be achieved by controlling the surface morphologies of p-GaN. Optical transmittance measurements revealed high transparency exceeding 90% in the visible spectral range for ZnO:Ga with both types of surface morphology.

AbstractThe simultaneous molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of (100) and (110) GaAs/GaAsintentionally doped with Si(∼lE16/cm^3) was studied as a function of substrate temperature, arsenic overpressure, and epitaxial growth rate. The films wereanalyzed by scanning electron and optical microscopy, liquid helium photoluminescence (PL), and electronic characterization.For the (110) epitaxal layers, an increase in morphological defect density and degradation of PL signal was observed with a lowering of the substrate temperature from 570C. Capacitance-voltage (CV) and Hall Effect measurements yield room temperature donor concentrations for the (100) films of n∼l5/cm^3 while the (110) layers exhibit electron concentrations of n∼2El7/cm^3. Hall measurements at 77K on the (100) films show the expected mobility enhancement of Si donors, whereas the (110) epi layers become insulating or greatly compensated. This behavior suggests that room temperature conduction in the (110) films is due to a deeper donor partially compensated by an acceptor level whose concentration is of the same order of magnitude as that of any electrically active Si. Temperature dependent Hall effect indicates that the activation energy of the deeper donor level lies ∼290 meV from the conduction band. PL and Hall effect indicate that the better quality (110) material is grown by increasingthe arsenic flux during MBE growth. The nature of the defects involved with the growth process will be discussed.

AbstractNumerical simulations have been performed for generic III-V MBE growth. The key aspects of the simulation include two deposited species one volatile and the second with high surface mobility. Simulations reproduce the experimentally observed adatom concentrations for GaAs and show that smooth surfaces are produced for films deposited with a substrate temperature in a crossover regime between kinetically limited and entropically roughened growth.

AbstractGraded (Ca,Ba)F2 layers consisting of near lattice matched CaF2 at the Si interface and of BaF2 with 14% increased lattice constant at the top surface were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on Si(111). Smooth and crackfree layers exhibiting Rutherford backscattering (RBS) channeling minima below 5% were obtained. Device quality epitaxial layers of PbTe, PbSe and (Pb,Sn)Se were grown on top of these structures. Mechanical stress at 300K was relaxed by athermal mechanisms in the fluoride- as well as in the Pb-salt films. - In preliminary runs, epitaxial CdTe-layers were obtained on Si(111) using the same fluoride-buffer film technique and which showed clear SEM electron channeling patterns.

AbstractWe report on a systematic study of the growth parameters of erbium-oxygen-doped silicon grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The surface quality of the grown layers was measured in situ by RHEED. The samples were characterized by photoluminescence measurements and SIMS. An Er-O-doped Si light emitting diode grown with the optimized parameters is presented.

The reduction of substrate temperature is important in view of the integration of III–V materials with a Si platform. Here, we show the way to significantly decrease substrate temperature by introducing a procedure to create nanoscale holes in the native-SiOx layer on Si(111) substrate via In-induced drilling. Using the fabricated template, we successfully grew self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires by molecular-beam epitaxy. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis reveals no indium atoms inside the nanowires. This unambiguously manifests that the procedure proposed can be used for the growth of ultra-pure GaAs nanowires.

ABSTRACTThe effect of growth conditions on the properties of GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low substrate temperatures has been studied. It has been found that the response time to 100 fsec 830nm light pulses is a function of substrate temperature and arsenic flux. The reason for variation of optical response with growth conditions is related to the nature of the incorporation of excess arsenic. A recent model proposed by Warren and others is invoked to explain the change in optical response with growth conditions. Further substantiation of this model comes from experiments on the annealing of low substrate temperature GaAs which has been doped with silicon.
