Low Pressure MOVPE Photo-Assisted Growth of ZnxCd1-xS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
We will report the photo-assisted heteroepitaxial growth of Znx Cdl-xS by Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). Sources materials were diethylzinc, dimethylcadmium and tertiaributylmercarptan. We have studied the effect of light intensity on the change of the Zn composition, crystalline quality and optical properties of epitaxial layers grown on (100) GaAs substrates. The Zn composition of the films could be increased by ≃ 15% by illuminating layers during the growth at 400°C. Concerning the characterization of epilayers, we observed a bright luminescence peak at E = 2.80 eV for x≃ 0.4. Epilayers with the best crystalline quality we could grown exhibited a full width at half maximum of ≃ 70 arsec by x-ray diffraction rocking curves when grown at 380°C.
