In this paper, high material quality Al 0.4 In 0.6 AsSb quaternary alloy on GaSb substrates is demonstrated. The quality of these epilayers is assessed using a high-resolution x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, and atomic force microscope (AFM). The x-ray diffraction exhibits high order satellite peaks with a measured period of 31.06 Å (theoretical value is 30.48 Å), the mismatch between the GaSb substrate and AlInAsSb achieves −162 arcsec, and the root-mean square (RMS) roughness for typical material growths has achieved around 1.6 Å over an area of 10 µm ×10 µm. At room temperature, the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum shows a cutoff wavelength of 1.617 µm.
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.
