The effects of the growth interruption time on the optical and structural properties of InGaN/GaN MQWs were investigated. The experimental results show that the growth interruption can improve the interface quality, increase the intensity of photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL); but if the interruption time was too long, the well thickness and the average In composition of MQWs decreased, and the EL intensity also decreased due to poor interface quality and impurities derived from growth interruption.展开更多

The microstructures of the MQWs were characterized by double-crystal X-ray rocking curve (DCRC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the MQWs were also studied. The MQWs grown with GIH method show that higher order satellite peaks of Pendell?sung fringes are observed in DCRC, the roughness of surface is much reduced in AFM, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of exciton line is much narrower in PL. The results indicate that the GIH method reduces the monolayer growth step density at the heterointerface due to the migration of surface atoms for a few minutes growth interruption, and substantially improves the quality of AlGaAs/GaAs MQWs.展开更多
