Investigation of crystalline and electronic band alignment properties of GaP/Ge(111) heterostructure
Abstract
Gallium phosphide (GaP) epitaxial layer and nanostructures are grown on n-Ge(111) substrates using metal organic vapour phase epitaxy. It is confirmed by high resolution x-ray diffraction measurements that the layer is highly crystalline and oriented with the coexistence of two domains, i.e., GaP(111)A and GaP(111)B, with an angle of 60° between them due to the formation of a wurtzite monolayer at the interface. The valence band offset between GaP and Ge is 0.7 ± 0.1 eV as determined from the valence band onsets and from Kraut's method. A band alignment diagram for GaP/Ge/GeOx is also constructed which can be used to design monolithic optoelectronic integrated circuits.
