摘要
We have grown Er,O-codoped GaAs and InP by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) and investigated the growth condition dependences of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra due to intra-4f shell transitions of Er. The codoping of Er and oxygen (O) is performed using an O-containing Er source either with or without an additional O-2 flow. In GaAs, the addition of O-2 to the growth ambient is quite effective for the formation of an Er-2O center. The dependence of the PL spectra on growth temperature reveals the existence of a threshold growth temperature above which the formation of the Er-2O center is greatly suppressed. In Er-doped InP grown with a small amount of O-2, several extremely sharp emission lines are newly observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
