Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper studies the decomposition characteristic of group-III sources during InAlAsSb growth on InP substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using trimethylindium (TMI), trimethylaluminum (TMA), trimethylantimony (TMSb) and arsine (AsH3). A composition analysis of InAlAsSb layers shows that the group-III compositions in the InAlAsSb layer change remarkably when the flow rate of the group-V source is varied. To clarify the reason for this phenomenon, the growth rates of InAsSb and AlAsSb component are examined. Their changes indicate that TMSb suppresses the decomposition of TMA while AsH3 enhances it. Moreover, the HEMT structure with InP/InAlAsSb Schottky barrier layer, whose InP layer acts as a recess-etch-stop layer, is fabricated for the first time. The I-V characteristics of a fabricated Schottky barrier diode indicate that the reverse leakage current of InP/InAlAsSb is about one order of magnitude smaller than that of commonly used InP/InAlAs.
