ABSTRACTThermal stability has been evaluated for ALE-grown Si/Ge interfaces by co-axial impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy. The IML-thick Si layer on Ge was stable only at less than 360°C. The 2ML-thick Si layer on Ge, however, was stable up to 550°C, and Si layers could be also ALE-grown successively on the 2ML-thick Si layer on Ge, while keeping the interface abrupt, since the Si-ALE growth temperature was about 530°C.

ABSTRACTSelf-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown by the atomic layer epitaxy technique and the structure and the thermal stability of QDs have been studied by using high resolution electron microscopy with in-situ heating experiment capability. The QDs were found to form a hemispherical structure with {136} side facet in the early stage of growth. The average height and diameter of the QD were found to be ∼ 5.5 nm and ∼ 23 nm, respectively. Upon capping by GaAs layer, however, the apex structure of QD changed to a flat one. In-situ heating experiment within TEM revealed that the uncapped QD remained stable until 580°C. However, at temperature above 600°C, the QD structure became flat due to the fast decrease of QD height. After flattening, the atoms diffused from the InAs QD to the GaAs substrate, resulting in the total collapse. The density of the QD decreased abruptly by this collapse and most QDs disappeared at above 600°C.

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.
