Surface Morphologies

Thick relaxed InGaAs layers grown epitaxially on GaAs are potentially useful substrates for growing high indium percentage strained layers. It is important that these relaxed layers are defect free and have a good surface morphology for the subsequent growth of device structures.3μm relaxed layers of InxGa1-xAs were grown on semi - insulating GaAs substrates by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), where the indium composition ranged from x=0.1 to 1.0. The interface, bulk and surface of the layers have been examined in planar view and cross-section by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The surface morphologies have been characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and the bulk lattice perfection of the layers assessed using Double Crystal X-ray Diffraction (DCXRD).The surface morphology has been found to correlate with the growth conditions, with the type of defects grown-in to the layer (e.g. stacking faults, microtwins), and with the nature and density of dislocations in the interface.

ABSTRACTStrain shift coefficient measurements for longitudinal optical phonons in molecular beam epitaxy grown metastable pseudomorphic Si1−xGex layers on (100) Si (0 < x < 0.35) and Ge (0.80 < x < 1) are reported. Strain in partially relaxed annealed specimens was obtained by double-crystal x-ray diffractometry and the corresponding strain phonon shift was measured by Raman scattering spectroscopy. For epilayers grown on Si it was found that the epilayer Si-Si phonon frequency varies linearly with strain. The magnitude of the strain shift coefficient b however showed a small composition dependence varying from b ≈ -700 cm-1 at x = 0 to b ≈ -950 cm-1 at x = 0.35, corresponding to a stress factor τ = 0.40 + 0.57x: + 0.13x2 cm-1/kbar. For the Ge-Ge vibration mode in epilayers grown on Ge, b decreased from ∼-425 cm-1 at x = 1 to ∼-500 cm-1 at x = 0.8, corresponding to a stress factor τ ≈ 0.52 – 0.14x - 0.08x2 cm-1/kbar.

Area Deposition

ABSTRACTII-VI semiconductor surface passivants, insulators, and epitaxial films have been deposited onto selective surface areas by employing a new masking and lift-off technique. The II-VI layers were grown by either conventional or photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). CdTe has been selectively deposited onto HgCdTe epitaxial layers as a surface passivant. Selective-area deposition of ZnS has been used in metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. Low resistance ohmic contacts to p-type CdTe:As have also been realized through the use of selectively-placed thin films of the semi-metal HgTe followed by a thermal evaporation of In. Epitaxial layers of HgTe, HgCdTe, and HgTe-CdTe superlattices have also been grown in selective areas on CdZnTe substrates, exhibiting specular morphologies and double-crystal x-ray diffraction rocking curves (DCXD) with full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) as narrow as 140 arcseconds.

Interface Migration

An axisymmetric finite-element method is developed to predict the evolution behavior of microstructures by interface migration. The formulation of the method is conducted on the basis of the energy principle during the interface motion. The computations extend earlier models by accounting in detail for the effects of grain-boundary energy, surface energy and chemical potential difference. The eventual shape of the plate-like double-crystal grain depends on both the initial β and the thermal grooving angle Ψ. For a given β, a critical Ψcexists. When Ψ>Ψc, the eventual shape is one made of two sphere segments with a thermal groove. When Ψ≤Ψc, grain splitting along the grain boundary occurs, and the splitting segments evolve into two spheres, respectively. Both the spheroidization time and the splitting time increase with Ψ and β increasing. The volume shrinkage rate decreases with increasing Ψ.
