High-quality GaSb epitaxially grown on Si (001) through defects self-annihilation for CMOS-compatible near-IR light emitters

Tianyi Tang et al.

Summary: Direct epitaxial growth of high-quality GaSb epilayers with low defect density on on-axis silicon substrates using interface engineering through all-molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology was successfully achieved. The defect self-annihilation mechanism of GaSb grown on silicon substrates was systematically investigated, revealing the formation of a misfit dislocation array at the AlSb/Si interface and the annihilation of threading dislocations and antiphase domain boundary. A 2 μm GaSb epilayer with a step-flow surface, low roughness, and good crystalline quality was obtained. The photoluminescence of the GaSb/AlGaSb quantum well on Si substrate was also demonstrated, indicating the potential for Sb-based infrared optoelectronic and microelectronic devices on CMOS-compatible Si substrates.

Epitaxial GaSb films directly grown on on-axis Si(001) with low defect density by MBE

Dong Han et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a strong demand for GaSb-on-Si direct heteroepitaxy to expand the operating wavelength range to mid-infrared and high-mobility applications. However, the growth of high-quality GaSb films on Si is challenging due to the generation of high-density defects. In this study, we proposed a novel design and growth strategy to achieve the annihilation of antiphase boundaries (APBs) and the reduction of threading dislocation density (TDD) through the use of a V-grooved Si hollow structure and InGaSb/GaSb dislocation filtering layers. The reported results greatly improve the overall quality of epitaxial Si-based antimonide, benefiting various devices and critical applications.

Metamorphic growth of 0.1 eV InAsSb on InAs/GaAs virtual substrate for LWIR applications

Seungwan Woo et al.

Summary: Epitaxial growth of bulk InAs1-xSbx layer on GaAs substrate is a promising method for cost-effective long-wavelength infrared sensors. This study focuses on the analysis of metamorphic InAsSb layers grown on an InAs/GaAs virtual substrate with optimized growth conditions and group-V flux control. The research reveals that increasing Sb composition leads to significant surface roughening, but lowering the growth temperature mitigates this while allowing strain relaxation. Furthermore, a high Sb composition also results in a dramatic increase in threading dislocation density. The narrow energy bandgap achieved in the InAs0.42Sb0.58 layer demonstrates its potential for long-wavelength infrared optoelectronics applications.

Summary: Epitaxial growth of III-V materials on Si is a promising approach for Si-based multi-junction solar cells. Transparent n-In0.1Al0.9As/n-GaAs strained layer superlattice dislocation filter layers can effectively reduce the threading dislocation density in the GaAs buffer on Si. The GaAs/Si tandem cell exhibited good performance, paving the way for monolithically integrated triple-junction solar cells on Si substrates.
