Abstract

The LPE grown AlxGa1−xSb was investigated by means of TEM, a carrier profiler and PL. The TEM image showed the dissociated 60° dislocations and Lomer-Cottrell sessile dislocation formed by the reaction of two dissociated 60° dislocations on different {111} planes. The EPMA measurement showed that Sb concentrations at the dislocation were lower than the stoichiometric composition. The epi-layer grown at 400°C had a relatively uniform carrier concentration of ∼7×1016cm−3. The PL spectra showed five emission peaks in 0≦×≦0.29. One shallow acceptor level and two native defect levels were introduced to interpret these PL emissions. The shallow acceptor level of Ev+∼30meV may be due to the defect of VGaGaSb. The native defects introduce two levels of EΓ1 - ∼90meV and EL1 - ∼160meV. The defect levels may be related to the complex defect of the Sb vacancy.
