Simulation and characterization of the selective area growth process

Abstract: A simple three-dimensional vapor phase model is used to interpret and clarify the selective area growth process. The model predicts both normal and anomalous profiles of thickness and composition, including long range effects. These are verified by an extensive set of experiments.

“…When the mask spacing becomes zero, two masks are connected, that is, the mask interference constant equals 1. From this figure, it is clear that the effective diffusion length of Ga species is longer than that of In species, which is consistent with the previous report [7].…”

“…For mask widths larger than 80 m strong roughening of the surface morphology occurs. This indicates the onset of large compositional changes in the Q 1.25 InGaAsP layer due to different diffusion lengths and surface reactivities of the group-III precursors ͑the group-V precursor supply is assumed to be not affected by the mask 5 ͒ although, in the case of TMI and TMG, the growth rate enhancement of InAs is only slightly larger compared to that of GaAs. 12 For the analysis of the structural and optical properties of the InAs QDs we focus on mask widths less than 80 m. Figure 2 shows the AFM images of the QDs formed by 2 ML InAs and 1 ML GaAs interlayer in unmasked areas for different mask widths.…”

“…5 Applied to quantum structures, the growth rate enhancement allows lateral tuning of the band gap energy through the quantum size effect which has been successfully demonstrated for quantum wells ͑QWs͒ ͑Refs. 6 and 7͒ and quantum dots ͑QDs͒.…”

“…Lateral growth of III-V semiconductors is utilized to obtain integrated optical components through selective area epitaxy (SAE) [1,2] and to achieve dislocation density reduction when substrates are mismatched to the epitaxial overlayer through lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) [3][4][5][6]. The kinetics of adatom attachment dominate lateral growth [7,8]; however, the relative surface energies of the different facets determine the equilibrium shape of the crystal [9].…”
