Abstract
Lattice-matched InGaP epilayers on GaAs (001) and InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) were successfully grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) with a GaP decomposition source. A 3 μm thick InGaP epilayer shows that low temperature photoluminescence (PL) peak energy is as large as 1.998 eV, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 5.26 meV, which is the smallest ever reported, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curve linewidth is as narrow as that of GaAs substrate. The electron mobilities at room temperature of nominally undoped InGaP layers obtained by Hall measurements are comparable to similar InGaP epilayer grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) with other sources or other growth techniques. The large area InGaP/GaAs HBTs show very good Dc characteristics.
