Accurate control of Sb composition in AlGaAsSb alloys on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy
The incorporation rates of Sb, and As, species are measured by group-V induced oscillations of reflection high-energy electron diffraction in molecular beam epitaxy. These measurements allow the accurate control and reproducibility of group-Ti composition in the AlGaAsSb system. Using the calibrations of Sb, incorporation rate we have grown GaAsSb, AlAsSb, AlGaAsSb layers and AlGaAsSb/AlAsSb distributed Bragg reflectors lattice matched on InP substrates. Very intense room-temperature photoluminescence signals of these mirrors demonstrate the good optical quality obtained with this simple method.
