AbstractReflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) is presented as real time analytical tool for metalorganic vapourphase epitaxy (MOVPE) of III-V-semiconductors. This optical method derives its surface sensitivity from the anisotropy of surface structures. It is shown that it is possible to monitor with RAS the oxide desorption from the substrate and that the substrate surface conditions thereafter, still in the pregrowth stage, can be correlated with certain reconstructions of the (001)-surfaces of InP and GaAs. The latter is possible through simultaneous RAS and RHEED measurements during MBE (molecular beam epitaxy) or MOMBE (metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy). Characteristic spectral features are also observed for other binary or ternary III-V-semiconductors. Time resolved measurements during growth give monolayer resolution for the growth rate in the case of GaAs. In the study of heterointerface growth exchange reactions between As and P together with their corresponding reaction time constants can be monitored and conclusions for the epitaxial growth procedure can be drawn.

AbstractGaAs1–xPx (0.2 <; x < 0.7) was grown by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy with a GaP buffer layer on Si for visible light-emitting devices. Insertion of the GaP buffer layer resulted in bright photoluminescence of the GaAsP epilayer. Pre-treatment of the Si substrate to avoid SiC formation was also critical to obtain good crystallinity of GaAsP. Dislocation formation, microstructure and photoluminescence in GaAsP grown layer are described. A GaAsP pn junction fabricated on GaP emitted visible light (˜1.86 eV). An initial GaAsP pn diode fabricated on Si emitted infrared light.

AbstractWe report on the luminescence properties of Er doped GaN grown prepared by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) and solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) on Si substrates. Both types of samples emitted characteristic 1.54 µm PL resulting from the intra-4f Er3+ transition 4I13/2→4I15/2. Under below-gap excitation the samples exhibited very similar 1.54 µm PL intensities. On the contrary, under above-gap excitation GaN: Er (SSMBE) showed ∼80 times more intense 1.54 µm PL than GaN: Er (MOMBE). In addition, GaN: Er (SSMBE) also emitted intense green luminescence at 537 nm and 558 nm, which was not observed from GaN: Er (MOMBE). The average lifetime of the green PL was determined to be 10.8 µs at 15 K and 5.5 µs at room temperature. A preliminary lifetime analysis suggests that the decrease in lifetime is mainly due to the strong thermalization between the 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 excited states. Nonradiative decay processes are expected to only weakly affect the green luminescence.
