ABSTRACTThe relaxation mechanisms of ZnSe/ZnSxSe1−x superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy was studied by transmission rAeclmn icroscopy. The relaxation of misfit strain occured in part by conventional misfit dislocations that reside in the superlattice-buffer layer interface and in part by dislocations pinned at individual layer interfaces of the superlattice. The generation of misfit dislocations at the superlattice-buffer layer interface is inhibited by the misfit strain between individual superlattice layers. Therefore a significant amount of overall strain is present even after 1 μm of growth. Because misfit dislocations are not sufficient in relief of the misfit strain cracks are able to propagate

Strained Layer Superlattices

The growth of SiGe strained-layer superlattices (SLS) has been received considerable attention due to the electronic and optoelectronic properties of these layers. In addition, these structures offer tantalizing possibilities for "band gap engineering" through the use of strain and chemically ordered alloys. The remaining barriers to grow the SiGe SLS structures with high quality result from the generation of large densities of defects, such as dislocations, twins, stacking faults, etc., at the heterointerfaces arising from the misfit strain relaxation. Other problems associated with the growth of the SiGe SLS structures are segregation and low incorporation of the dopants and inter-diffusion of Si and Ge. In the present study, the inter-mixing of Si and Ge and the generation of the defects in Si epilayers grown on Ge(001)2×1 at 550 °C by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) from Si2H6 were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS).

Sb Doping

In this paper, with solid source molecular beam epitaxy technique, Si 1-x Ge x( SiGe ) virtual substrates were deposited on low-temperature-grown Si (LT- Si ) buffer layer, which was doped with Sb . The strain in SiGe virtual substrate was characterized by high resolution X-ray diffraction. Results indicated that Sb -doping in LT- Si can effectively modulate the degree of strain relaxation in SiGe virtual substrate. The segregated Sb on the surface of LT- Si layer acts as surfactant and results in abrupt strain relaxation.

Pre Treatment

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.

ABSTRACTAn investigation of the growth mechanism for RF-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy of cubic GaN films using a nitrided AlGaAs buffer layer was carried out by in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). It was found that hexagonal GaN nuclei grow on (1, 1, 1) facets during nitridation of the AlGaAs buffer layer, but a highly pure, cubic-phase GaN epilayer was grown on the nitrided AlGaAs buffer layer.
