An investigation was conducted on the growth of CdS/ZnSe multi quantum well (MQW) heterostructures by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE), revealing changes in QW design during growth and observing a blueshift in emission line. Simulation of experimental X-ray diffraction curves showed changes in the average composition of QWs and the formation of type II band offsets.
CdS/ZnSe multi quantum well (MQW) heterostructures with type II band offsets for blue-green semiconductor disk lasers were grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) at T = 440 degrees C. The blurring of heterostructure interfaces during growth is investigated. There has been observed a blueshift of the emission line of heterostructures pumped from the side released from the GaAs substrate, in comparison with the emission line under pumping from the growth surface that indicates the change in the design of QWs during growth. Simulations of experimental X-ray diffraction curves also showed that the average composition of QW changes on CdZnS/ZnCdSe. It is shown that due to the strong mutual diffusion of Cd and Zn through the interfaces, it is possible to form the two ZnSSe/ZnCdSe/ZnCdS QWs with the I-type band offsets. Nevertheless, using light-assisted spreading resistance microscopy measurements on the cleaved cross-sections of the structures, carrier separation in QWs is observed, indicating the formation of a type II band offsets in the most of our heterostructures. The grown structures show intense luminescence, the radiation spectrum of which shifts to the short-wave side with the increase of the pump level. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
