Abstract

We have investigated the structural properties of ZnSe epilayers that were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) GaAs substrate with different tilt angles. Two-dimensional growth mode increased with increasing tilt of (001) GaAs toward [010] direction. This was confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis and double crystal X-ray diffraction. We have obtained ZnSe of high crystalline quality layers on (001) GaAs off oriented toward [010] direction. Light emitting devices that were fabricated by ZnSe wafers grown on 4° off toward [010] GaAs substrate have longer lifetimes than the ones that were grown on nominal (001) GaAs substrate, which provide an evidence that crystalline quality improvement effects may become apparent by using (001) vicinal substrate surfaces.
