Abstract
We investigated a series of self-assembled InP quantum dot structures. The Ga concentrations of the GaxIn(1−x)P upper confining quantum well layers were varied from x = 0.43 to x = 0.58, centering on a strain compensated structure. All were grown on a (Al0.3Ga0.7)0.52In0.48P lower confinement layer. Across this range of composition the dot emission wavelength changed approximately linearly with the Ga fraction. Of the compositions used, x = 0.54 gave the best defined and largest magnitude dot absorption spectrum, corresponding to the largest dot density. This resulted in the lowest overall threshold current density with a reduced threshold current temperature sensitivity at room temperature and above. These results are confirmed over two growth series.
