Abstract

InAs quantum dots (aDs) embedded in GaAsSb barriers with various Sb compositions was investigated by photoluminescence (PL). The peak position of 8% and 13% Sb sample does not shift while that of 15% Sb sample was blue-shifted with increasing the excitation power. In addition, time-resolved PL (TRPL) data also show that 15% Sb sample has a much longer PL decay time compared to that of 8% and 13% Sb sample, implying that the transformation from type I to II occurs between 13% and 15% Sb composition. It is noted that the improvement of aD uniformity was achieved by an increase of a Sb composition in the GaAsSb barrier due to a Sb surfactant effect.
