Research Abstract |
We pursuit the reproducible growth of high-quality long-wavelength emitting GaInNAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Examining the effect of nitrogen introduction and its correlation between impurity incorporation, we find the source species especially Al is unintentionally incorporated into the epitaxial layer followed by the concomitant incorporation of O and C. A model considering gas-phase scattering can explain the phenomena, suggesting that a large amount of N_2 gas causes the scattering of residual Al atoms with an occasional collision resulting in the atoms directed toward the substrate. Hence, the reduction of the sublimated Al beam at the growth period can suppress the incorporation of the unintentional impurities, realizing highly-pure epitaxial layer.
