Özet

In this study we report the VIII ratio effects on growth, structural, optical and doping characteristics of low growth rate (similar to 1 angstrom/s) heteroepitaxial Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) grown In(x)A(1-x)As layers, a part of Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) structures, on InP substrate. Especially photoluminescence (PL) properties of InAlAs-InP interface show strong dependence on AsH3 overpressure. We have shown that the VIII ratio with fixed metalorganic precursor flow is a crucial parameter on In In(x)A(1-x)As layers to have a good material quality in terms of crystallinity, optical and electrical characteristics with and without doping.
