    Abstract:
    Short-period superlattices of (GaP) n (AlP) n have been grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. X-ray diffraction measurements have confirmed the formation of the structures, where n ranges from 4 to 10. Low-temperature photoluminescence has shown characteristic emission peaks, which shift toward higher energies and tend to increase in intensity with decreasing n . These results, together with the band discontinuity between GaP and AlP which was estimated from that between GaP and Al 0.6 Ga 0.4 P, strongly indicate that the (GaP) n (AlP) n system forms the superlattices of a type-II band alignment.

    Selective embedded growth of Al x Ga 1- x As ( x ≤0.35) in grooves of patterned substrates has been achieved for the first time by low-pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-OMVPE). Epitaxial Al x Ga 1- x As layers are embedded only in chemically etched grooves, while no polycrystalline deposition occurs on the masked area. The layers grown in grooves with the reverse-mesa cross sections, formed in the [110] direction, are uniform in thickness and show flat-smooth surfaces throughout. These results indicate that LP-OMVPE is a very promising technique for monolithic device integration.
