摘要
In this paper, heteroepitaxial growth of InP on Si(100) substrates with GaAs/GaP intermediate layers using low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) is studied. A five-period (150 angstrom/150 angstrom) InxGa1-xAs/InP (0.13 < x < 0.36) strained layer superlattice (SLS) was grown between the InP and GaAs layers. The effect of the composition of the InxGa1-xAs/InP SLS was investigated by photoluminescence (PL), etch-pit-density (EPD) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods. InP/Si with InxGa1-xAs/InP (x = 0.23) SLS exhibited the best results in PL and EPD evaluations. The PL-intensity divided by the electron concentration of InP/Si with an InxGa1-xAs/InP (x = 0.23) SLS is 70% larger than without the SLS. The EPD of InP/Si with a SLS (x = 0.23) is 4.1 x 10(7) cm-2, which is lower than that without a SLS (1.0 x 10(8) cm-2).
