The effect of silicon on In GaAsSi/GaAs quantum well structures is investigated using high resolution X-ray diffraction technique (HRXRD). The growth of quantum well is studied by surface electron microscopy (SEM). The surface morphology is studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is observed from the AFM images that the roughness increases as Si doping increases. The incorporation of silicon also induces alloy nonuniformity in the quantum well, leading to an increased surface roughness. We found that the FWHM of the rocking curves of Si-doped InGaAs increase with increasing Si concentration, indicating the degradation of the crystal quality with increasing doping level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
