Growth of chromium doped InP by atmospheric pressure metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy is reported. Hexacarbonyl chromium and bis-benzene chromium are both shown to be efficient Cr precursors although significant co-incorporation of carbon is a limitation of the former. Structural and electrical properties of the layers are described. A compensating deep donor concentration of up to 3/spl times/10/sup 16/ cm/sup -3/ has been achieved. The resistivity of p-InP/Cr-InP/p-InP structures is as high as 3/spl times/10/sup 8/ /spl Omega/ cm. When this structure is incorporated in buried heterostructure lasers for current blocking, improved performance compared with conventional iron doped structures is observed.<>

The spatial distribution of photo-excited carriers in dry etched InGaAs/InP quantum-well-dots (QWDs) has been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging. High resolution e-beam lithography and CH/sub 4H/sub 2/ reactive ion etching were used to fabricate QWDs from multiple quantum well (MQW) heterostructures with GaAs well thicknesses ranging from 1 to 15 nm. Low temperature CL spectra from a single QWD stack provided a measure of the layer-to-layer variation in intensity in such MQW dots. Lateral distributions of emission intensity in single quantum dots and dot-to-dot variations in emission intensity have been obtained from CL line scans. The QWD PL intensity from the thicker, bottom QWDs in a stack is found to increase relative to the PL from the thinner, top QWDs with increasing excitation intensity and increasing temperature. This observation is attributed to the diffusion of carriers generated in the InP substrate into the bottom quantum wells. The PL spectra of all five 128 nm diameter QWDs in the MQW stacks exhibit a blueshift of about 3 meV at the lowest excitation intensity.<>

Wavelength conversion is a key function for optical switching using wavelength routing. Among the different solutions (gain saturation in semi-conductor amplifiers or in DBR lasers) bistable lasers based on saturable absorption are attractive with their signal reshaping capability but they have been limited in speed by the carrier lifetime of the absorption section. To overcome this limitation, we have optimised a proton bombardment technique of the saturable absorber and applied it to the realisation of (4 section) high speed bistable DBR lasers. Wavelength conversion is thus demonstrated at 1 Gbit/s together with Extinction Ratio regeneration.<>

Due to the recent development of optical probes, monitoring of surface structures during organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD) has now become possible. Reflectance-difference spectroscopy (RDS) revealed that the (001)GaAs surface under OMCVD conditions reconstructs into structures similar or identical to those that occur in ultrahigh vacuum as encountered during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Here, the author reviews recent real-time studies on the OMCVD and MBE growth using RDS and complementary techniques such as grazing-incidence X-ray scattering.<>

The electrical activation characteristics of Si/sup +/ and Be/sup +/ ions implanted into InGaAsP (/spl lambda/=1-3 /spl mu/m) grown lattice-matched to InP by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy were studied as a function of ion dose (5/spl times/10/sup 12/-5/spl times/10/sup 14/ cm/sup -2/), annealing time (3-60 sec) and annealing temperature (575-750/spl deg/C). Maximum doping concentrations of /spl sim/2/spl times/10/sup 19/ cm/sup -3/ were obtained for both Si/sup +/ and Be/sup +/, with activation energies for electrical activation of 0.58 eV and 0.39 eV, respectively. Multiple energy F/sup +/ or H/sup +/ implants can be used to produce high resistance layers for isolation purposes - maximum sheet resistances of /spl sim/8/spl times/10/sup 6/ /spl Omega/spl square/ or /spl sim/10/sup 6/ /spl Omega/spl square/ for initially p/sup +/ or n/sup +/InGaAsP, respectively, were obtained for F/sup +/ implants followed by annealing near 450/spl deg/C. Smooth, anisotropic dry etching of the InGaAsP is obtained with electron cyclotron resonance CH/sub 4H/sub 2Ar discharges at low DC biases. The etch rates are the same for both n/sup +/ and p/sup +/ quaternary layers and are independent of the doping level.<>

Deep electron trap levels in n-InP treated with remote hydrogen and helium plasmas have been studied by isothermal capacitance transient spectroscopy (ICTS) measurement. The trap levels at E/sub c/-0.51 eV (E2) and E/sub c/-0.54 eV (E4) are induced by both plasma treatment. However, the E4 traps are related to phosphorus vacancies and are fully passivated in H/sub 2/ plasma treated sample. The existence of the E4 traps in H/sub 2/-plasma-treated sample can be revealed after 350/spl deg/C annealing. It is found that the width of the surface region in which the E2 traps are dominantly introduced becomes thicker with increasing acceleration voltage of He ions.<>

Photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data on GaInP/Al(Ga)InP quantum wells (QW's) grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) is presented. The structural and optical properties of QW's grown with either ternary Al/sub 0.52/In/sub 0.48/P or quaternary (Al/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/)/sub 0.52/In/sub 0.48/P (x/spl sim/0.53) barriers is contrasted. Both barrier types offer the prospect of high quality structures as demonstrated by narrow PL and XRD linewidths. The PL of thin QW's (/spl les/20 /spl Aring/) is however considerably degraded for the case of AlInP barriers due to reduced electron confinement compared to quaternary AlGaInP. PL and PLE measurements reveal a large Stokes' shift for these QW's, which is clear evidence for a change from type-I to type-II behavior. This observation, together with calculations based on PLE data for the E1-HH1 ground state energy, gives limits on the range of conduction band offsets that may be used which are consistent with the value /spl Delta/E/sub c/=0.67/spl Delta/E/sub g/ recently reported in the literature.<>

InGaAs/InP or InGaAsP strained layer quantum well (QW) lasers showing enhanced performance over lattice matched lasers have been reported. With a larger compressive or tensile strain, while maintaining a well number, further performance improvements such as low threshold current are anticipated. To fabricate such highly strained multiple quantum well (MQW) structures, it is important both to realize abrupt interfaces and to minimize the average strain of the MQW stacks. We found a molecular beam switching sequence to form the abrupt QW interfaces, and the strain-compensation for both the interfacial strain and the average strain in InGaAs/In(Al)P MQW structures grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE). This sequence dramatically improved InP/InGaAs heterointerface quality, which was confirmed by an increase in photoluminescence intensity and X-ray diffraction measurement in InGaAs/InP short period superlattice (SPS). Interfacial strain, which is generated by this sequence at every QW top interface, was successfully compensated by employing the different type bond at the QW bottom interfaces. Furthermore, the average strain-compensation was achieved by introducing tensile strain to barrier and the thermal stability for the compensated structure was also confirmed.<>

InP/InGaAs is a powerful material system for a variety of devices including HFETs. The quality of the heterointerface is very sensitive to growth parameters, especially to the switching sequence of the reactive gases. Improvement of the interface with respect to electron transport was achieved by growth interruptions without group-V stabilization of the surface before growth of the subsequent layer is started.<>

The quality of the heterointerface is very sensitive to growth parameters, especially to the switching sequence of the reactive gases. Improvement of the interface with respect to electron transport was achieved by growth interruptions without group-V stabilization of the surface before growth of the subsequent layer is started.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":161711,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 6th International Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials (IPRM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123015189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
