Abstract:
Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements are made on p-type nitrogen-doped ZnSe grown by photoassisted metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) together with post-growth thermal annealing, in order to investigate optical quality of the layers. It is suggested that the annealing degrades the layer quality and the MOVPE samples have more non-radiative recombination centers compared with MBE samples. A key issue for high quality p-ZnSe by MOVPE seems to be optimization of annealing conditions.
