摘要
The effects of different growth interrupt schemes at the compositional interfaces in 30 period InGaAs(P)/InP superlattices grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy have been studied for quarternary compositions-lambda = 1.35 and 1.52-mu-m as well as for the ternary case-lambda = 1.67-mu-m. The best full width at half maximum of the photoluminescence peaks at 4 K are 7-8 meV for the InGaAsP/InP and 4.6 meV for the InGaAs/InP superlattices indicating extremely high optical quality and vertical homogeneity of the samples. However, strong memory effects relating to both the presence and the absence of arsenic are evident from x-ray diffraction measurements. Reactor purging as a remedy is limited by the surface roughening and defect formation induced by a non-equilibrium vapor phase composition. Optimal growth interrupts must therefore be determined considering both the interface smoothness and abruptness and will in general be composition dependent.
