Interface properties of Ga(As,P)/(In,Ga)As strained multiple quantum well structures
2013
(In,Ga)As/Ga(As,P) multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with GaAs interface layers have been characterized with photoluminescence (PL) and high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). By growing (In,Ga)As/Ga(As,P) MQWs with asymmetric GaAs interfacial layers, we found that phosphorus carry-over had a profound effect on the absorption edge of the (In,Ga)As wells. Evidence for this phosphorus was initially determined via PL and then definitively proven through STEM and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. We show that the phosphorus carry-over can be prevented with sufficiently thick GaAs transition layers. Preliminary results for GaAs p-i-n solar cells utilizing the improved MQWs are presented.
