Defects in metamorphic InxAl1−xAs (x<0.4) epilayers grown on GaAs substrates
Defects in Si-doped InxAl1−xAs (0<x<0.4) epilayers on GaAs substrates were systematically investigated by deep-level transient spectroscopy. Three electron traps, ranging from 0.22 to 0.89 eV, were observed in InxAl1−xAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Their energy levels can be extrapolated...

Summary: | Defects in Si-doped InxAl1−xAs (0<x<0.4) epilayers on GaAs substrates were systematically investigated by deep-level transient spectroscopy. Three electron traps, ranging from 0.22 to 0.89 eV, were observed in InxAl1−xAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Their energy levels can be extrapolated from those in the InxAl1−xAs/InP system. A low-temperature-grown buffer layer as well as thermal annealing were found to be capable of reducing the defects in the active layer effectively. |
