摘要
Space ordered 1.3μm self-assembled InAs QDs are grown on GaAs（100） vicinal substrates by MOCVD. Photoluminescence measurements show that the dots on vicinal substrates have a much higher PL intensity and a narrower FWHM than those of dots on exact substrates, which indicates better material quality. To obtain 1.3μm emissions of InAs QDs, the role of the so called InGaAs strain cap layer （SCL） and the strain buffer layer （SBL） in the strain relaxation process in quantum dots is studied. While the use of SBL results only in a small change of emission wavelength,SCL can extend the QD＇s emission over 1.3μm due to the effective strain reducing effect of SCL.
用MOCVD技术在偏(100)GaAs衬底上生长了发光波长在1·3μm的线状空间规则排列InAs量子点.光致发光实验表明,相对于正(100)衬底,偏(100)GaAs衬底上生长的InAs量子点具有更好的材料质量,光谱有更大的强度和更窄的线宽.为了得到发光波长为1·3μm的量子点,对比研究了不同In含量的InGaAs应力缓冲层(SBL)和应力盖层(SCL)的应力缓冲作用.结果表明,增加SCL中In含量能有效延伸量子点发光波长到1·3μm,但是随着SBL中In的增加,发光波长变化不明显,并且材料质量明显下降.
