摘要
Atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) growth of InP was investigated using trimethylindium (TMI) and tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) in a horizontal atmospheric reactor. The studied growth parameters were exposure times, TMI and TBP fluxes, and growth temperature. Self-limiting ALE growth of InP was achieved at a growth temperature of 340-degrees-C. Substantial increases in the TMI flux and higher growth temperatures exceeding 340-degrees-C resulted in growth rates exceeding 1 monolayer per cycle. Uniform ALE InP layers were verified by cross-sectional transmission electron micrography and sputtered Auger profiling. The application of thin ALE InP layers (15 angstrom) on GaAs surfaces was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, 77 K photoluminescence, and 300 K photoreflectance. The absence of arsenic oxide and an increase in the photoluminescence intensity by a factor of 2 were observed after InP passivation.
