Photoluminescence investigation of residual shallow acceptors in AlxGa1−xAs grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy

Abstract: Low-temperature photoluminescence on metalorganic vapor phase epitaxial AlxGa1−xAs layers (0⩽x⩽0.37) exhibiting relatively sharp bound exciton and band acceptor lines, combined with effective mass-type calculations of the expected transition energies, has allowed the identification of carbon, zinc, and possibly silicon as residual acceptors. Carbon seems to be the predominant residual acceptor impurity species in layers grown at high temperature. Large spectral shifts in direct-band-gap AlxGa1−xAs as a functio… Show more

“…The peak at 1.492 eV corresponds to the C acceptor-free electron recombination (C°, e) and the one at 1.490 eV to the donor-acceptor pair recombination (C°, D°) [22]. On the sample grown at 630 OC a peak at 1.487 eV appears, it corresponds to (Zn°, e) recombination [23] (on some detailed spectra, not reported here, Mg related peaks appeared too). For the sample grown at 730 OC, near band gap excitonic complexes (A°, X) at 1.512 eV and (D+, X) or (D°, h) at 1.513 b eV are observed.…”
