Fermi edge singularity evidence from photoluminescence spectroscopy of AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic HEMTs grown on (3 1 1)A GaAs substrates

InGaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (P-HEMT) structures were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) on (3 1 1)A GaAs substrates with different well widths, and studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy as a function of temperature and excitation density.The PL spectra are dominated by one or two spectral bands, corresponding, respectively, to one or two populated electron sub-bands in the InGaAs quantum well. An enhancement of PL intensity at the Fermi level energy (E_F) in the high-energy tail of the PL peak is clearly observed and associated with the Fermi edge singularity (FES). This is practically detected at the same energy for all samples, in contrast with energy transitions in the InGaAs channel, which are shifted to lower energy with increasing channel thickness. PL spectra at low temperature and low excitation density are used to optically determine the density of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the InGaAs channel for different thicknesses. The results show an enhancement of the 2DEG density when the well width increases, in good agreement with our previous theoretical study.     

Sb-mediated growth of high-density InAs quantum dots and GaAsSb embedding growth by MBE

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) with high-density were grown on GaAs(0 0 1) substrates by antimony (Sb)-mediated molecular beam epitaxy technique using GaAsSb/GaAs buffer layer and InAsSb wetting layer (WL). In this Sb-mediated growth, many two-dimensional (2D) small islands were formed on those WL surfaces. These 2D islands provide high step density and suppress surface migration. As the results, high-density InAs QDs were achieved, and photoluminescence (PL) intensity increased. Furthermore, by introducing GaAsSb capping layer (CL), higher PL intensity at room temperature was obtained as compared with that InGaAs CL.     

GaAs surface passivation by ultra-thin epitaxial GaP layer and surface As-P exchange

The GaAs surface passivation effects of epitaxially grown ultra-thin GaP layers and surface As-P exchange have been investigated. Optical properties of passivated and unpassivated InGaAs/GaAs near-surface quantum wells (QWs) grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) are studied by low-temperature continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). By optimizing the growth conditions, smooth surface morphologies and significant improvement of optical properties were observed for both passivation methods. Passivation improved the PL intensity more than two orders of magnitude and notably increased the PL decay time.

Quantum wire heterostructure for optoelectronic applications

Quantum wire (QWR) heterostructures suitable for optoelectronic applications should meet a number of requirements, including defect free interfaces, large subband separation, long carrier lifetime, efficient carrier capture. The structural and opticl properties of GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire (QWR) heterostructures grown by organometallic chemical vapor deposition on nonplanr substrates, which satisfy many of these criteria, are described. These crescent-shaped QWRs are formed in situ during epitaxial growth resulting in virtually defect free interfaces. Effective wire widths as small as 10nm have been achieved, corresponding to electron subband separations greater than K_BT at room temperature. The enhanced density of states at the QWR subbands manifests itself in higher optical absorption and emission as visualized in photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, amplified spontaneous emission and lasing spectra of these structures. Effective carrier capture into the wires via connected quantum well regions, which is important for enhancing the otherwise extremely small capture cross section of these wires, has also been observed. Room temperature operation of GaAs/AlGaAs and strained InGaAs/GaAs QWR lasers with threshold currents as low as 0.6mA has been demonstrated.     

Magnesium doping in InAlAs and InGaAs/Mg films lattice-matched to InP grown by MOVPE

Mg-doped InAlAs and InGaAs films were grown at 560 °C lattice matched to InP semi-insulting substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) under various Cp₂Mg flow conditions. Hall effect, photoluminescence (PL), high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), and secondary ion mass (SIMS) were the tools used in this work. The crystalline quality and the n-p conversion of the InAlAs and InGaAs/Mg films are described and discussed in relation to the Cp₂Mg flow. Distinguishing triple emission peaks in PL spectra is observed and seems to be strongly dependent on the Cp₂Mg flow. SIMS is employed to analyze the elements in the epitaxial layers. The variation of indium and magnesium components indicates a decrease of magnesium incorporation during the growth of InAlAs layers leading to a contracted lattice. In addition, the magnesium incorporation in the InGaAs lattice during growth has been confirmed by SIMS.     

Enhanced photoluminescence intensity of 1.3-μm multi-layer InAs/InGaAs dots-in-well structure using the high growth temperature spacer layer step

The effects of growth temperature of the GaAs spacer layers (SPLs) on the photoluminescence (PL) efficiency of multi-layer GaAs-based 1.3-μm InAs/InGaAs dots-in-well (DWELL) structures have been investigated. It is found that the PL intensity of DWELLs is enhanced by incorporating a high growth temperature step for GaAs SPLs. This improved PL efficiency could be understood in term of reducing the non-radiative recombination centers. An extremely low continuous-wave room-temperature threshold current density of 35 A/cm² is achieved for an as-cleaved 5-layer device with emission at 1.31 μm by using this growth technique.     

Diagnostics of cap layers in InAs(N) quantum-dot multilayer structures on GaAs(001), grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy

InAs(N) quantum-dot structures grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy on GaAs(001) substrates were studied. The growth process included deposition of thin InGaAs and GaAs layers above the quantum dots at a lower temperature. Subsequently, a thick GaAs barrier layer was grown at a higher temperature. This procedure resulted in the removal of undesirable large islands while retaining small ones. An indium excess from dissolved islands was transferred to an additional InGaAs layer detected by X-ray diffractometry.
