OMVPE of GaAsSbN for long wavelength emission on GaAs.
GaAsSbN was grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) as an alternative material to InGaAsN for long wavelength emission on GaAs substrates. OMVPE of GaAsSbN using trimethylgallium, 100% arsine, trimethylantimony, and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine was found to be kinetically limited at growth temperatures ranging from 520 C to 600 C, with an activation energy of 10.4 kcal/mol. The growth rate was linearly dependent on the group III flow and has a complex dependence on the group V constituents. A room temperature photoluminescence wavelength of >1.3 {micro}m was observed for unannealed GaAs{sub 0.69}Sb{sub 0.3}N{sub 0.01}. Low temperature (4 K) photoluminescence of GaAs{sub 0.69}Sb{sub 0.3}N{sub 0.01} shows an increase in FWHM of 2.4-3.4 times the FWHM of GaAs{sub 0.7}Sb{sub 0.3}, a red shift of 55-77 meV, and a decrease in intensity of one to two orders of magnitude. Hall measurements indicate a behavior similar to that of InGaAsN, a 300 K hole mobility of 350 cm{sup 2}/V-s with a 1.0 x 10{sup 17}/cm{sup 3} background hole concentration, and a 77 K mobility of 1220 cm{sup 2}/V-s with a background hole concentration of 4.8 x 10{sup 16}/cm{sup 3}. The hole mass of GaAs{sub 0.7}Sb{sub 0.3}/GaAs heterostructures was estimated at 0.37-0.40m{sub o}, and we estimate an electron mass of 0.2-0.3m{sub o} for the GaAs{sub 0.69}Sb{sub 0.3}N{sub 0.01}/GaAs system. The reduced exciton mass for GaAsSbN was estimated at about twice that found for GaAsSb by a comparison of diamagnetic shift vs. magnetic field.
