ABSTRACTA possibility of the Atomic Layer Epitaxy, ALE, for InN was demonstrated by using InC13/N2 and NH3/N2. The InCl3 is a solid at room temperature and can be supplied in the reactor by heating with N2 carrier gas. When the solid InCl3 is heated in an inert gas, InCl, InCl3 and In2Cl3 gases are formed. It was clear that the In2Cl5 which is the largest molecule of the three results in solid structural defects. The ALE growth temperature was from 440°C to 505°C. The fact that the ALE was performed at the temperature range from 440°C to 505°C indicates that In was supplied as InC13, suggesting the possibility of InN ALE by using InCl3 and NH3.

AbstractAtomic layer epitaxy (ALE) of InAs has been developed using trimethylindium-dimethylethylamine adduct (TMIDMEA) as a novel In source. Distinct self-limiting growth of InAs was successfully carried out over a wide temperature range from 350°C to 500°C because of the high thermal stability of TMIDMEA. The possible growth temperature range for ALE-InAs was extended by using TM1DMEA. These results lead us to conclude that the use of TMIDMEA enables us to grow InAs/GaAs heterostructures at a single growth temperature. Using this technique, (InAs)1(GaAs)l short period superlattice (12 periods) quantum-well structures were grown on a GaAs(100) substrate at 460°C. A photoluminescence peak at 1.3 µm was observed in these structures at room temperature.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the intrinsic point defects in epilayers grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE). Ga vacancies and antisite As atoms in the epilayers are detected by photoluminescence spectroscopy. This shows that the ALE epilayer was grown under As-rich conditions. We propose increasing the TMG flux to reduce the number of point defects. With this method, the number of point defects in ALE epilayers can be decreased to less than that in conventionally grown epilayers. Moreover, it is'found that these point defects are formed by the incomplete Ga coverage, not by the steric hindrance as previously suggested. The carbon concentration is decreased by one order of magnitude by using nitrogen instead of hydrogen as the carrier gas. As an application of this low defect density, we fabricated a GaAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diode and observed the negative resistance at room temperature.

Ultrathin quantum wells (UTQWs) of CdTe within ZnTe barriers were successfully grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) on GaAs(001) substrates. ALE growth of CdTe was performed by alternate exposure of the substrate surface to individual fluxes of Cd and Te. Two different samples with 2-monolayer (ML) (substrate temperature Ts= 270° C ) and 4 ML (Ts = 290° C ) CdTe QWs were grown. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) experiments exhibited intense and sharp peaks associated to the 2 ML QWs at 2.26 eV. In the case of the nominally 4-ML-thick QW the PL spectrum presented an intense peak around 2.13 eV and two weak features around 2.04 and 1.91 eV. The first peak is attributed to ~ 3 ML QW and the second one to ~ 4 ML QW. The dominance of the 3 ML peak is mainly attributed to Cd loss in the QW due to its substitution by Zn atoms. Due to a high diffusion length of the photogenerated carriers in the barriers, quite weak signals from the ZnTe barriers were observed in both cases. Room temperature (RT) photoreflectance (PR) spectra showed contributions from the CdTe UTQWs, the ZnTe barriers, and the GaAs substrate.

AbstractInAs chloride ALE has been carried out in detail, resulting in successful InGaAs ALE on (111)B InP substrates. InAs growth of 0.9 ML/cycle is obtained for (111)B InAs substrates at temperatures below 375 °C, while growth rates for (100) and (111)A substrates steadily decrease with increases in growth temperature. The growth rates are independent of InCI pressure at 375 °C, suggesting a self-limiting growth factor in InAs chloride ALE. (GaAs)1(InAs)1 and (GaAs)2(InAs)2 superalloys can be prepared on (111)B InP substrates at 375 °C. Growth rates and crystal compositions for both layers agree well with the values expected for ideal superalloys. The presence of superlattice structures is indicated by X-ray diffraction measurement,

AbstractWe report on the low temperature growth of GaAs on Ge substrates using Atomic Layer Epitaxy. Low temperature deposition has resulted in substantial reduction of the outdiffusion of Ge into the GaAs epilayer as being indicated from SIMS. The I-V characteristics of the GaAs/Ge heterojunction were thyristor like or near abrupt depending on the growth temperature. We also report on the use of the Atomic Layer Epitaxy self-limiting adsorption process of TMGa to control the diffusion of Ga into Ge substrates at the monolayer level.
