Abstract
The growth of InxGaj1−xAs (x = 0.13–0.25) on GaAs by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) and laser-modified CBE using trimethylindium (TMIn), triethylgallium (TEGa), and tris-dimethylaminoarsenic (TDMAAs) has been studied. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction measurements were used to investigate the growth behavior of InGaAs at different conditions. X-ray rocking curve and lowtemperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements were used to characterize the InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic strained quantum well structures. Good InGaAs/GaAs interface and optical property were obtained by optimizing the growth condition. As determined by the x-ray simulation, laser irradiation during the InGaAs quantum well growth was found to enhance the InGaAs growth rate and reduce the indium composition in the substrate temperature range studied, 440–500°C, where good interfaces can be achieved. These changes, which are believed to be caused by laser-enhanced decomposition of TEGa and laser-enhanced desorption of TDMAAs, were found to depend on the laser power density as well. With laser irradiation, lateral variation of PL exciton peaks was observed, and the PL peaks became narrower.
