Abstract
AbstractSingle domain InxGa(1-x)P (x=0.3) films were successfully grown on Si(001) misoriented substrates by molecular beam epitaxy with a solid phosphorous source. The effects of interfacial buffer layers such as InGaP (i.e. direct growth without buffer layer), GaP, AlP, and GaAs were examined. Also a Si epitaxial buffer layer was tried to control the Si surface structure. Mirror like surfaces were obtained for all films with RHEED patterns of (2×1) single domain surface structure. PL intensities for all films indicated almost the same values except for the films with a Si epitaxial buffer layer. The films with a Si epitaxial buffer layer had almost three times larger PL intensities than the films without Si epitaxial buffer layer. The results suggest incomplete cleaning of the Si surface by the high temperature (1000 °C) treatment and possibility of surface structure control for Si substrates by a Si epitaxial buffer layer.
