    Notes: We measure the per-carrier nonlinear responses caused by photoexcited carriers in two strained [111]-oriented InGaAs/GaAs multiple-quantum-well structures, and we compare them to that measured in a [100]-oriented structure. Without an external bias, we find that the absorption coefficient changes per photogenerated carrier for the [111]-oriented piezoelectric materials are smaller than for the [100]-oriented materials, not larger, as originally suggested. Subsequently, measurements of the per-carrier nonlinear responses as a function of reverse bias voltage demonstrate that the smaller per-carrier nonlinearities measured for the [111] structures are partially the result of a broadening of the excitons by the huge in-well fields, but can be primarily attributed to the quality of the [111]-grown materials. When corrected for differing in-well fields and for differing excitonic linewidths, the per-carrier responses are similar in magnitude, suggesting that the [111] response may eventually approach that of [100] material, but probably will not significantly exceed it. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The incorporation of high concentrations ((approximately-greater-than)1019 cm−3) of Si, Be, and C in InxGa1−xAs relaxed layers has been studied as a function of In content (x≤0.16) by Raman spectroscopy of local vibrational modes (LVM). The frequencies of the Raman peaks resulting from the convolution of several split modes shift to lower values as the In content is increased, the carbon acceptor (CAs) local mode frequency showing the strongest dependency on x. Features attributed exclusively to the influence of In on second-neighbor sites are identified only in the Si-doped samples. The transverse and longitudinal modes expected from the splitting of a LVM of CAs with one In first neighbor are not observed in layers with x up to 0.085. A new calibration for the BeGa, CAs, and Si-related LVM leads to the conclusion that In increases the total electrical activation of Si and favors its incorporation on group-III sublattice sites. In contrast, no influence of In on the Be or C doping activation has been detected. The analysis of the CAs LVM spectra supports the view that in InxGa1−xAs CAs is preferably surrounded by Ga instead of In atoms for x≤0.085. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A comparison between compositionally stepped and alternating step-graded structures used in the production of a relaxation buffer layer is carried out by means of transmission electron microscopy. The latter shows higher efficiency in relieving the strain. A simple balance force model permits us to understand the reason for a higher generation of threading dislocations observed in the alternating step-graded structures. The presented results can be applied as new design rules for buffer fabrication that contrast in some key points with previous published rules as, for example, the "zero-net-strain'' precept [D.

    Notes: AlN layers were grown on Si(111) substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Crystal quality was assessed by atomic force microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction. The III/V ratio and the growth temperature, rather than thickness and growth rate, are found to be critical parameters to achieve good quality AlN layers. III/V ratios close to stoichiometry, and high growth temperatures (≥900 °C) lead to optimal AlN layers. The growth rate is barely modified when growth temperature changes from 780 to 920 °C, but the growth mode and surface roughness are strongly affected. Optimal AlN layers have full-widths at half-maximum values of 10 arcmin, and an average surface roughness of 48 Å. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High-resolution x-ray diffractometry has been applied to the structural characterization of piezoelectric strained InGaAs/GaAs multiquantum well p-i-n diodes grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (111)B GaAs substrates. Reference samples simultaneously grown on (001) GaAs have been also characterized. Diodes with 3, 7, and 10 periods and different well to barrier thickness ratio have been studied. Symmetric and asymmetric reflections at various azimuths were measured and the scans were fitted with theoretical curves obtained through a dynamical simulation program developed in our lab. The comparison between experimental and simulated profiles has enabled us to determine the main structural parameters of the samples. High-resolution x-ray diffractometry provided accurate data about period and capping layer thicknesses, indium content in the wells and state of relaxation, information which cannot be always obtained in (111)B samples from other characterization techniques such as photoluminescence or photocurrent spectroscopies. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: GaN photoconductive detectors have been fabricated on sapphire substrates by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy and gas-source molecular beam epitaxy on Si (111) substrates. The photodetectors showed high photoconductor gains, a very nonlinear response with illuminating power, and an intrinsic nonexponential photoconductance recovery process. A novel photoconductor gain mechanism is proposed to explain such results, based on a modulation of the conductive volume of the layer. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The contribution of the in-well screening of the piezoelectric field to the nonlinear optical response of a [111]-oriented strained InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum well is separated from, and compared to, that associated with the out-of-well screening and with bleaching by using picosecond nondegenerate differential transmission techniques. These measurements demonstrate that the per-carrier nonlinearity associated with the in-well screening is smaller than that associated with the out-of-well screening by a factor roughly equal to the number of wells. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have time-resolved the piezoelectric optical nonlinearities of a strained, [111]-oriented InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum well p-i-n structure. By monitoring the temporal evolution of the excitonic absorption spectrum, we follow the photogenerated carriers as they drift to form the space-charge field responsible for screening the piezoelectric field. From the carrier dynamics, we can separate the contribution of in-well screening from that of the long-range screening associated with carriers that have escaped the wells. We have determined that in narrow quantum wells, in-well screening is smaller than long-range screening and that in-well screening is obscured by the concurrent onset of strong bleaching. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The features present in the capacitance– and conductance–voltage characteristics of [100]- and [111]-oriented InGaAs/GaAs multi-quantum well (MQW) p-i-n structures under illumination are described. Sequential tunneling of electrons and holes is proposed to explain the different peaks observed, as they occur at voltages corresponding to resonant alignment of energy levels of adjacent wells. Two kinds of piezoelectric [111] devices are analyzed, with positive or negative average electric fields in the MQW region. The voltage corresponding to zero average electric field in the MQW is detected by a feature in the dark device capacitance. For the sample with negative average electric field, the capacitance characteristics clearly reflect the presence and evolution with voltage of a long range screening of the piezoelectric fields by the photogenerated carriers. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The relaxation of compositionally graded InGaAs buffers, with and without uniform cap layers, has been studied. Simple InGaAs linear-graded layers on GaAs substrates never reach complete relaxation. The residual strain in these structures produces a dislocation-free strained top region while the rest of the buffer is nearly completely relaxed through misfit dislocations, as observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This strained top region is analyzed and its thickness compared with theoretical calculations. The effects of different cap layers on the relaxation behavior of the graded buffer has been studied by double crystal x-ray diffraction, TEM, and low temperature photoluminescence, and results compared with predictions of the models. The optical quality of the cap layer improves when its composition is close to the value that matches the lattice parameter of the strained surface of the grade. The design of linear graded buffers having a strain-free cap layer with high crystalline quality is discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
