On the Possibility of Manufacturing Strained InAs/GaSb Superlattices by the MOCVD Method

详细

The first results showing the possibility of manufacturing InAs/GaSb superlattices by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method are presented. The possibility of manufacturing heterostructures with an InAs/GaSb strained superlattice with layer thicknesses of 2–4 nm is experimentally demonstrated. The 77-K electroluminescence spectra of the structures show a long-wavelength peak at around 5.0 μm (0.25 eV). This peak is probably associated with the strained superlattice because solid solutions that could form on the basis of composite compounds do not provide this carrier-recombination energy.
