Abstract

Variations of the characteristics of Sb-surfactant assisted grown InGaAsN/GaAs single quantum wells (QWs) in dependence on QW growth temperature (TGR = 442-505 °C) are investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) and high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) methods. The QWs grown at ∼480 °C demonstrated optimal PL characteristics, namely the highest PL intensity and small potential fluctuations. A good quality of heterointerfaces is proved by HRXRD. These structures emit at ∼1.29 μm at 300 K and are promising for application in long wavelength opto-electronic devices. The good structural properties of these QWs are assigned to Sb surfactant effect that allows shifting of the TGR to higher temperatures without significant alloy decomposition. The increase of TGR in its turn results in the decrease of the density of nonradiative defects that are the specific feature of low temperature growth.
