摘要
We report the epitaxial growth of zinc-blende BxGa1-x-yInyAs and BxGa1-xAs on GaAs substrates with boron concentrations (x) up to 2%-4% by atmospheric-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The band gap of BxGa1-xAs increases by only 4-8 meV/%B with increasing boron concentration in this concentration range. We demonstrate an epitaxial BxGa1-x-yInyAs layer deposited on GaAs with a band gap of 1.34 eV that is significantly less strained than a corresponding Ga1-yInyAs layer with the same band gap.
