Abstract
The molecular-beam epitaxy of InGaAs/InAlAs/AlAs structures for heterobarrier varactors is studied and optimized. The choice of the substrate-holder temperature, growth rate and III/V ratio in the synthesis of individual heterostructure regions, the thickness of AlAs inserts and barrier-layer quality are critical parameters to achieve the optimal characteristics of heterobarrier varactors. The proposed triple-barrier structures of heterobarrier varactors with thin InGaAs strained layers immediately adjacent to an InAlAs/AlAs/InAlAs heterobarrier, mismatched with respect to the InP lattice constant at an AlAs insert thickness of 2.5 nm, provides a leakage current density at the level of the best values for heterobarrier varactor structures with 12 barriers and an insert thickness of 3 nm.
