Abstract
We present the heterointerfacial properties of GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum-well structures grown by atmospheric-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on (111)A GaAs substrates at a relatively low growth temperature of 600 °C. For a 25-period GaAs/Al0.27Ga0.73As multiquantum-well structure with a well width of 44 Å, a photoluminescence linewidth of 10.5 meV was observed, which is smaller than previously reported for a similar GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum-well structure grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (111)A GaAs. As this linewidth corresponds to a combined well-width fluctuation and interfacial roughness throughout the 25 periods of at most ±1 monolayer, it is concluded that epitaxial growth on the (111)A surface can result in high-quality heterointerfaces, particularly at low growth temperatures.
