Fabrication and molecular beam epitaxy regrowth of first-order, high contrast AlGaAs/GaAs gratings

چکیده
We present a fabrication technique and molecular beam epitaxy MBE regrowth of first-order, high contrast AlGaAs/GaAs diffraction gratings for laser emitting at 980 nm. An immersion holography technique is used to uniformly pattern first-order gratings with a pitch of 155 nm. MBE is used to overgrow Al0.75Ga0.25As on etched GaAs gratings. It is found that slow growth rates with optimum arsenic overpressure are necessary to overgrow gratings with low pitting defect densities. These first-order, high contrast gratings are integrated as distributed Bragg reflectors in an edge-emitting laser structure. Single-mode emission at 1 m with a side mode suppression ratio greater than 30 dB is demonstrated. © 2006 American Vacuum Society. DOI: 10.1116/1.2190679

Fabrication of GaAs Quantum Dots by Modified Droplet Epitaxy
We propose a modified droplet epitaxy method for fabricating self-organized GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) with a high As flux irradiation and a low substrate temperature. By our novel method, GaAs QDs were successfully formed, retaining their pyramidal shape, original base size and density of droplets, and preventing layer-by-layer growth. Quantum size effects of the QDs were distinctly observ...
متن کاملAlGaAs/GaAs Heterostructure Solar Cells Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy
The AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure solar cells were fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), which provides ultra-thin molecular layers of the design structure. The typical efficiency of the solar cells fabricated and their characteristics are η = 17%, Voc = 0.73 V, Isc = 33 mA/cm, and F.F. = 0.7. Spectral response of the solar cells show a broad spectrum ranging from 500 to 900 nm, correspondi...
متن کاملOptimization of AlAs/AlGaAs quantum well heterostructures on on-axis and misoriented GaAs (111)B
We report systematic growth optimization of high Al-content AlGaAs, AlAs, and associated modulation-doped quantum well (QW) heterostructures on on-axis and misoriented GaAs (111)B by molecular beam epitaxy. Growth temperatures TG> 690 C and low As4 fluxes close to group III-rich growth significantly suppress twin defects in high-Al content AlGaAs on on-axis GaAs (111)B, as quantified by atomic ...
متن کاملMonolithic integration of GaAs and h~~~~Ga~.~As lasers by molecular epitaxy on GaAs
Selective area molecular beam epitaxial regrowth of Ino.aGaesAs lasers through dielectric masks between GaAs laser stripes on a GaAs substrate has been used for the -first timeto monolithically integrate these two lasers emitting near 1.0 and O.&S pm, respectively. During regrowth, GaAs laser stripes were protected under a dielectric mask over which polycrystalline material grew, which was late...
