ABSTRACTWe have achieved deep-level-free Al0.22Ga0.78As epitaxial layers using low selenium (Se)-doping (8.4 × l016 cm−3) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Deep levels in various Al0.22Ga0.78As layers grown on GaAs substrates were measured by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). We have found that the commonly observed oxygen contamination-related deep levels at EC-0.53 and 0.70 eV and germanium-related level at EC-0.30 eV in MOCVD-grown Al0.22Ga0.78 As can be eliminated by low Se-doping. In addition, a deep hole level located at Ev+0.65 eV was found for the first time in highly Se-doped Al0.22Ga0.78 As epilayers. We suggest that low Se-doping (<2 × 1017 cm−3) produces a passivation effect and then deactivates other deep levels in Al0.22Ga0.78As.

AbstractInxGai-xP (x=0.49) layers lattice-matched to GaAs have been grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We did not observe any deep levels in the temperature range of 30-380K by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) in undoped In0.49Ga0.51P layers which have a background concentration of 3.1×1015 cm−3. The deep levels, if they exist, have a concentration of less than 5×1011 cm−3, which is the lowest deep level concentration found so far in InxGa1-xP materials. Moreover, lattice-mismatched InxGa1-xP/GaAs heterojunctions were deliberately grown by varying the In-composition ranging from 0.43 to 0.57. No deep levels were created in 1-μm-thick InxGa1-xP layers due to lattice mismatch when 0.469 < x < 0.532. However, we have observed a shallow electron trap at EC - 60 meV in InxGa1-xP layers with x < 469, and a deep electron trap located at Ec - 0.85 eV in the samples with x > 0.532. We suggest that the lattice-mismatch-induced-defects in InxGa1-xP are either electrically inactive or resided outside the bandgap when In content ranging from 0.469 to 0.532.

AbstractUsing one material system from the near infrared into the ultraviolet is an attractive goal, and may be achieved with (In,Al,Ga)N. This III-N material system, famous for enabling blue and white solid-state lighting, has been pushing towards longer wavelengths in more recent years. With a bandgap of about 0.7 eV, InN can emit light in the near infrared, potentially overlapping with the part of the electromagnetic spectrum currently dominated by III-As and III-P technology. As has been the case in these other III–V material systems, nanostructures such as quantum dots and quantum dashes provide additional benefits towards optoelectronic devices. In the case of InN, these nanostructures have been in the development stage for some time, with more recent developments allowing for InN quantum dots and dashes to be incorporated into larger device structures. This review will detail the current state of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of InN nanostructures, focusing on how precursor choices, crystallographic orientation, and other growth parameters affect the deposition. The optical properties of InN nanostructures will also be assessed, with an eye towards the fabrication of optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and photodetectors.
