Notes:
A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diode with 20 pairs of AlAs/GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) has been grown on a Si substrate using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Interfacial roughness and compositional profile of the AlAs/GaAs DBR structure were studied by cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Auger electron spectroscopy. Cross-sectional SEM and TEM observations reveal quasi-periodic zigzag roughness and nonuniformity in the AlAs and GaAs layers. Auger electron spectroscopy reveals compositional transitions at the AlAs/GaAs heterointerfaces. A lower reflectivity of the AlAs/GaAs DBR on the Si substrate is caused by the degraded heterointerfaces. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
