ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3561489 | Abstract: | The material and optical properties of the GaAs/AlxGa 1-xAs/Ge structures grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were examined and found to be dependent of the Al content x. SIMS and PL measurements show that the 10 nm AlxGa1-xAs buffer layer with x 0.3 and 0.6 are equally effective in suppressing the outdiffusion of Ge, whereas x 1.0 gives the most abrupt interface. The best morphology with surface rms of 0.3 nm is obtained in the structure with x 0.3 buffer layer. Analysis on change of strain in the AlxGa 1-xAs buffer layer suggests that the compressive strain at the AlxGa1-xAs-GaAs interface is compensated by the tensile strain at the Ge-AlxGa1-xAs interface when x ∼ 0.3. AlxGa1-xAs lattice matched to Ge is crucial for better result in surface morphology, but higher Al content is preferred for eliminating the interdiffusion of atoms at the heterointerface. © 2011 American Institute of Physics. | Source Title: | Journal of Applied Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/82991 | ISSN: | 00218979 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.3561489 |
