Abstract
Recently, many characteristics of the InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice(SL) have been investigated. However, little research work has been devoted to the source flux control, which is very important for improving the property of the SL. Based on the technology of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on GaSb substrate, which has a better cost effectiveness for large-scale production, SL with excellent crystal quality is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, the importance of source flux control is analyzed by comparison of the low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the SL grown with a special source flux control and that with a simple source flux control. The x-ray diffraction(XRD) data and the surface morphology obtained by atomic force microscopy(AFM) show that the SL designed by us has smooth surface, and the peak sense wavelength of the SL is around 10 µm..
