Chemical trends of stability and band alignment of lattice-matched II-VI/III-V semiconductor interfaces

Journal Article Deng, Hui-Xiong ; Luo, Jun-Wei ; Wei, Su-Huai - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Using the first-principles density functional theory method, we systematically investigate the structural and electronic properties of heterovalent interfaces of the lattice-matched II-VI/III-V semiconductors, i.e., ZnTe/GaSb, ZnSe/GaAs, ZnS/GaP, and ZnO/GaN. We find that, independent of the orientations, the heterovalent superlattices with period n=6 are energetically more favorable to form nonpolar interfaces. For the [001] interface, the stable nonpolar interfaces are formed by mixing 50% group-III with 50% group-II atoms or by mixing 50% group-V with 50% group-VI atoms; for the [111] nonpolar interfaces, the mixings are 25% group-III (II) and 75% group-II (III) atoms or 25% group-V (VI) and 75% group-VImore »« less

Calculated natural band offsets of all II{endash}VI and III{endash}V semiconductors: Chemical trends and the role of cation {ital d} orbitals

Journal Article Wei, S ; Zunger, A - Applied Physics Letters

Using first-principles all-electron band structure method, we have systematically calculated the natural band offsets {Delta}E{sub v} between all II{endash}VI and separately between III{endash}V semiconductor compounds. Fundamental regularities are uncovered: for common-cation systems {Delta}E{sub v} decreases when the cation atomic number increases, while for common-anion systems {Delta}E{sub v} decreases when the anion atomic number increases. We find that coupling between anion {ital p} and cation {ital d} states plays a decisive role in determining the absolute position of the valence band maximum and thus the observed chemical trends. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}

Demonstration of the effects of interface strain on band offsets in lattice-matched III-V semiconductor superlattices

Journal Article Nelson, J S ; Kurtz, S R ; Dawson, L R ; ... - Applied Physics Letters; (USA)

A first principles total energy self-consistent pseudopotential calculation is used to predict the band offset in the lattice-matched superlattice InAs/Al{sub 0.8}Ga{sub 0.2}As{sub 0.14}Sb{sub 0.86}. We find that inclusion of interface strain changes the character of the band offset from nominally type II to strongly type II. The predicted band offset at the minimum energy configuration is in excellent agreement with the value determined from infrared photoluminescence measurements.

Revised ab initio Natural Band Offsets of All Group IV, II-VI and III-V Semiconductors

Journal Article Li, Y H ; Walsh, A ; Chen, S ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Using an all-electron band structure approach, we have systematically calculated the natural band offsets between all group IV, III-V, and II-VI semiconductor compounds, taking into account the deformation potential of the core states. This revised approach removes assumptions regarding the reference level volume deformation and offers a more reliable prediction of the 'natural' unstrained offsets. Comparison is made to experimental work, where a noticeable improvement is found compared to previous methodologies.
