Abstract

Indium aluminum arsenide(InAlAs) was grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) indium phosphide (InP) substrate and the effects of growth temperature on the properties of epitaxial layers were studied. In the temperature range of 370-$400 ^{\circ}C$, we observed that the surface morphology, optical quality and structural quality of InAlAs epilayers were improved as growth temperature increased. However, the InAlAs epilavers grown at $430 ^{\circ}C$ have the bad surface morphology and show the same trends as structural and epical quality. As a result of these measurements, it is suggested that the InAlAs epilayers of very good properties can be grown at $400 ^{\circ}C$.

분자선에피탁시법을 이용하여 InP(001) 기판위에 성장한 InAlAs 에피층의 특성에 대한 성장온도 (370-$430 ^{\circ}C$)의 효과를 Normalski 현미경, 원자력현미경 (AFM), 광발광 (PL), 이중결정 x-선 회절법 (DCXRD)을 사용하여 분석하였다. InAlAs 에피층의 표면형상, 구조적, 광학적 특성은 370-$400^{\circ}C$에서 성장한 시료에서는 성장온도의 증가로 향상되지만, $430 ^{\circ}C$로 성장한 시료에서는 특성이 나빠졌다. 결과적으로 $400 ^{\circ}C$로 성장한 InAlAs 에피층의 특성이 가장 우수하였다.
