ABSTRACTIV-VI semiconductor Pb1−xsSnxsSe1−ysTeys quaternary alloys were grown on (111) BaF2 by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). X-ray diffraction analysis shows that liquid (Pb1−x1Snx1)0.99(Se1−y1Tey1)0.01 solutions produce alloys lattice-matched with the substrate wheny1 = 60%, 58%, and 57%, and x1 = 20%, 40%, and 60%, respectively. These data suggest that the chemical potential of tellurium in the Pb1−xsSnxsSe1−ysTeys solid solution decreases as tin and tellurium concentrations increase. It is argued that this reduction is due to decreasing strain energy driven segregation of tellurium from the solid to the liquid as the tin concentration increases.

AbstractGaP1-x-yAsyNx. (x ∼,2.3%, 0< y <19%) quaternary alloy semiconductor films on GaP substrates have been successfully grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). With the fixed supplies of trimethylgallium(TMG), AsH3 and dimethylhydrazine(DMHy) during the growth, the As concentration in the solid increased with increasing AsH3 supply, while the N concentration was almost unaffected. It has been demonstrated that the crystalline quality of the alloy films is much improved with the close lattice-matching to the GaP substrate, giving a superior surface morphology without any cross-hatches, a much narrower x-ray diffraction linewidth, and a significantly higher photoluminescence(PL) intensity.

Ni and Ni(W) solid solution of bulk Ni and Ni-W alloys (Ni-10W, Ni-30W, and Ni-50W) (wt%) were mechanically compared through the evolution of their {111} X-ray diffraction peaks during in situ tensile tests on the DiffAbs beamline at the Synchrotron SOLEIL. A significant difference in terms of strain heterogeneities and lattice strain evolution occurred as the plastic activity increased. Such differences are attributed to the number of brittle W clusters and the hardening due to the solid solution compared to the single-phase bulk Ni sample.

ABSTRACTPraseodymium dioxide (PrO2) -doped In0.69Ga0.31As0.67P0.33 layers are grown on semiinsulating In P substrates with liquid-phase epitaxy. The PrO2 doping of the growth solution varies from 0 to 0.32 wt %. The quaternary In0.69Ga0.31As0.67P0.33 layer composition determined with two-crystal X-ray diffraction and photoreflectance is found to be independent of the PrO2 concentration in the melt. The photoluminescence spectra measured at 12 K show both exciton and donor-acceptor peaks, the magnitudes of which depend on the PrO2 doping. The carrier concentration of the n-type quaternary layer decreases and the mobility increases with increasing PrO2 concentration and reaches the values of 8.3.1015 cm−3 and 7300 cm2/Vs, respectively, at about 0.1 wt% at 77 K. The experiments show that PrO2 has an impurity gettering effect in the growth process.

We report the results of a study of Al 0.065 Ga 0.935 Sb avalanche photodetectors grown on n-GaSb substrates. The devices have been fabricated from layers with the structure p-Al 0.13 Ga 0.87 Sb/n-Al 0.065 Ga 0.935 Sb:Te/n-GaSb (substrate) grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) with a composition matched to detect light of 1.55 μm. The heterostructures were grown from Ga-rich solutions at 400°C. Just after their growth, the structures were subjected to baking processes inside the growth chamber. The baking time was varied and its influence on the breakdown voltages of the junctions was observed. Breakdown voltages up to 12 V, very low net donor concentration in the active layer (1E15 cm -3), and avalanche multiplication factors of around 50 have been obtained. The carrier concentration was determined by the C–V method. Photoluminescence and X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out to investigate the properties of the LPE-grown ternary layers, to determine the band gap and to estimate the quality of epitaxial layers. The photoresponses of the detectors are also presented.

Epilayers of LPE Cdo.24Hgo.76Te grown on (111)B CdTe and Cdi-xZnxTe substrates have been examined by defect etching and triple axis x-ray diffraction. Defect etching of bevelled layers has shown the threading dislocation density to fall with increasing distance from the heterointerface, for distances <6μm. In thicker regions however a constant ‘background’ dislocation density is observed. Background dislocation densities of ∼ 3 x 105cm-2 and 9 x 104cm-2 have been measured for layers grown on CdTe and Cdo.96Zn0.04Te respectively, this is compared with a substrate dislocation density of ∼ 3 x 104cm-2 measured in both types of substrates. The increase in the dislocation density within the epilayers compared with the corresponding substrate is discussed. An explanation is also given for the displacement of the peak dislocation density, from the interface to within the layer, observed in the Cd0.76Hg0.24Te / Cd0.96Zn0.04Te system.
