摘要
Growth of In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs multilayers are reported on lattice matched In0.04Ga0.96As buffer layers using two different starting substrates: (1) a bulk, lattice-matched, Czochralski-grown In0.04Ga0.96As wafer, and (2) a bulk (unmatched) GaAs wafer. The structures, grown by molecular-beam epitaxy, consist of a 200-nm-thick undoped buffer plus a 28-1/2 period modulation-doped multilayer having 10-nm-thick In0.15Ga0.85As quantum wells and 25-nm-thick GaAs barriers doped over their 10-nm central region. The 4 K Hall mobility of the multilayer grown on the InGaAs substrate is 57% larger than the structure grown on GaAs, despite a low dislocation density observed in transmission electron micrographs of the latter. These results suggest that bulk ternary substrates can provide enhanced performance for future electronic and optoelectronic devices.© 1995 American Institute of Physics.
