Abstract

Single crystalline $ZnIn_2Se_4$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $400^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating, $ZnIn_2Se_4$ source at $630^{\circ}C$. After the as-grown $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystalline thin films was annealed in Zn-, Se-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $ZnIn_2Se_4$single crystalline thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K The native defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_{Se}$, $Zn_{int}$ and $Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Se-atmosphere converted $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystalline thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that In in $ZnIn_2Se_4$/GaAs did not form the native defects because In in $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystalline thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.
