“…This deficiency of active N suggests the presence of a physisorbed In/In-methyl surface layer. This is clear by the saturation in In-methyl desorption above 560 1C, consistent with InGaAs [21,22] and InGaN MBE studies [22]. The ability of the In/In-methyl surface layer to block NH 3 adsorption sites and terminate In x Ga 1Àx N growth [23] is apparent in cases of low NH 3 flow and low Ga/In.…”

“…The Mg valve position was then adjusted to obtain differing levels of Mg doping. The effect of MME growths on InGaN were found to be detrimental due to the high desorption rate [23,24], and low residency of In. Figure 1 SIMS data for Mg-doped GaN step profiles for an unmodulated, droplet-free growth (Mg1), and a smart-shuttering MME growth (Mg2) with similar growth conditions.…”

Improvements to the Metal Modulated Epitaxy (MME) technique are achieved through computer controlled shutter transitions based on feedback from RHEED transients (S. D. Burnham and W. A. Doolittle, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 24, 2100 (2006) [1]), thus creating a closed‐loop control system for nitride MBE, the first of its kind. A high‐sensitivity 22 bit camera is used to determine when RHEED transients have subsided, upon which a shutter transition is initiated allowing the efficient buildup and depletion of the metal bilayer, which improves surface morphology and growth rate compared to the standard MME technique. RMS surface roughness was reduced by 41% by using this “Smart Shuttering” improvement to MME. A substantially higher peak concentration of Mg, approaching 2% atomic concentration, was achieved using the MME technique. As expected, a negligible amount of In was incorporated into the very Ga‐rich films. Using the new closed loop control system developed for MBE, the surface morphology was improved for GaN films while highly repeatable holes concentrations as high as 4.7×1018 cm–3 with 1.07 cm2/V‐sec mobility was obtained. This approach offers great promise for improved reproducibility and improved material quality. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

“…The indium surface segregation can be observed using the transition electron microscopy (TEM) [5], [6], reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) [7] and X-rays diffraction (XRD) [8]. However, all these methods have own disadvantages in case of ultrathin QWs.…”

In this work, we inYestigate the influence of the in dium surface segregation on the differential absorption obsened for different im' erse biases applied to the structure. Obtained results eyidence that the indium surface segregation leads to more sharp dependence of the absorption on the applied bias for a wide frequency range aboye the red edge. This feature can be used for experimental measurements of the segregation lengths applying optical spectroscopy.
