The results of the growth of arsenic- and antimony-containing layers are presented. These layers were grown in a MBE system which underwent a transformation from II-VI (HgCdTe) to III-V (AlGaIn-AsSb) materials growth.
RHEED is utilized to determine surface reconstructions and growth rates in situ. Post-growth atomic force microscopy is employed to study the surface properties, such as roughness, step density and terrace width of the grown layers. With photoluminescence spectroscopy mapping of quantum well samples the radiative recombination yield on a whole wafer is compared between different samples. As a measure of epitaxial layer quality Hall-effect measurements on high electron mobility structures are performed.
These works represent the early steps after the commissioning of a used MBE system towards the growth of mid-IR emitters.
