Formation of InGaAs fins by atomic layer epitaxy on InP sidewalls
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a fabrication process which forms InGaAs fins with sub 10nm thickness and 180nm height. The process flow requires no semiconductor dry-etch, thereby avoiding surface damage arising from such processes. Instead, InGaAs fins are formed using nanometer controlled atomic layer epitaxial growth, using tertiarybutylarsine, upon InP sidewall which are eventually selectively etched. Such fins can serve as channels of field effect transistors, allowing excellent electrostatics and with potentially high operating current per fin. © 2014 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

Relationship of growth mode to surface morphology and dark current in InAlAs/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes grown by MBE on InP
We present the relationship between surface roughness and dark current measured for avalanche photodiodes with InGaAs absorbers and thin InAlAs multiplication layers fabricated from material grown lattice-matched to InP by molecular beam epitaxy. In particular, the leakage current at unity gain measured for sets of 125mm diameter devices was found to have an exponential dependence upon the peak...
متن کاملOptimization of a Cl2–H2 inductively coupled plasma etching process adapted to nonthermalized InP wafers for the realization of deep ridge heterostructures
Inductively coupled plasma etching using Cl2–H2 chemistry with no additive gas CH4, Ar, or N2 is studied to realize deep 5 m ridges with smooth and vertical sidewalls. The process is optimized for nonthermalized InP wafers to avoid the use of thermal grease. Cleaning of the rear side of the wafer after etching is avoided, which is suitable for an industrial process or for critical subsequent st...
متن کاملAdatom migration effects during molecular beam epitaxial growth of InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells on patterned substrates with vertical sidewalls: Blue shift in luminescence spectra
We have studied the blue shift in photoluminescence emission energy of pseudomorphic InGaAs/ GaAs quantum wells grown on patterned ~001! GaAs substrates with grooves and trenches having vertical sidewalls made by dry etching. Dependence of the blue shift, which can be as large as 51 meV, on the direction, feature size, and the etch depth of the patterns as well as the thickness of the buffer la...
متن کاملEpitaxial Defects in Nanoscale InP Fin Structures Revealed by Wet-Chemical Etching
In this work, we report on wet-chemical defect revealing in InP fin structures relevant for device manufacturing. Both HCl and HBr solutions were explored using bulk InP as a reference. A distinct difference in pit morphology was observed between the two acids, attributed to an anisotropy in step edge reactivity. The morphology of the etch pits in bulk InP suggests that the dislocations are ori...

The realization of collector-up light-emitting complementary charge injection transistors is reported. The devices have been implemented in molecular-beam-epitaxy-grown n-InGaAs/ InAlAs/p-InGaAs and n-InGaAs/InP/p-InGaAs heterostructures using a self-aligned process for the collector stripe definition. Electrons, injected over the wide-gap heterostructure barrier (InAlAs or InP) by the real-spa...
