Also, impact of Sb incorporation in the capping layers provides the far-infrared wavelength emission window (1.3 μm to 1.56 μm). In current work, the effects of strain and composition on the optical properties of vertically uncoupled InAs/InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) capped with a thin layer combining Sb quaternary alloys are investigated experimentally. In this work, growth rate of the QDs formation is varied such as 0.05 ML/s, 0.07 ML/s and 0.1 ML/s for selective 28% Sb composition. The atomic force microscopic (AFM) measurement is performed on the grown quaternary capped QDs heterostructures and better dot uniformity and density is observed for selective growth rate sample. The out-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) is measured for all the growth rate varying heterostructures. The strains are estimated from the corresponding XRD plots and such results confirm the defect free growth of heterostructures with reduced strain and high dot size for 0.05 ML/s growth rate sample. The photoluminescence (PL) is conducted to characterize the optical properties of the grown QDs heterostructures. The 20 K PL peak is gradually shifted from 1214 nm to1249 nm with the decreasing growth rate from 0.1 ML/s to 0.05 ML/s. Therefore, growth rate is optimized for InAs/InGaAsSb QD heterostructures, which will be exhibited the higher photo absorption and carrier lifetime and such heterostructures can be a promising candidate for III-V QD based opto-electronic devices.","PeriodicalId":406150,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Sensors, Devices, and Applications XIII","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131469521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A single layer InAs/GaAs SK QD heterostructure has been utilised as a reference structure (sample A). Three different structures B, C and D are chosen with the Sb composition of 10%, 14% and 22% in the capping layer on the InAs QDs. The strain distribution of InAs quantum dots with GaAs1-xSbx capping has been investigated in detail by using Nextnano simulation software. The transition from type-I to type-II band alignment occurs after 14% Sb incorporation. The effect of variation in the Sb component on the strain profile is analysed in terms of hydrostatic and biaxial strain. In the strain profiles, the biaxial strain increases significantly from samples A to D, whereas the hydrostatic strain is reducing from samples A to D inside the QD region simultaneously. Further, low temperature photoluminescence (PL) has been performed to validate the simulated results. The PL peak is originated at ~1030 nm for sample A, which shows a good agreement with the simulated value ~1071 nm. With the similar dot size, the simulated PL peaks are found at 1116, 1284, 1675 nm for samples B, C and D, respectively. A slight variation is observed in the experimentally obtained PL peaks and simulated one due to the incorporation of higher Sb content. With the higher Sb content, relatively more defects are generated, which affects the experimental PL peaks. Also, a red shift is found in the PL peaks from ~1030 nm to ~1213 nm at 19K and it gives an insight to develop various optoelectronic devices using such QDs heterostructure.","PeriodicalId":406150,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Sensors, Devices, and Applications XIII","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130110686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed a thick metamorphic InGaSb buffer layer on GaAs wafer to create a 6.2 Å lattice constant for the QW growths. The lattice constant of virtual substrates (VSs) was very close to the target value of 6.2 Å, however the resulting crystalline quality of the VSs was inefficient for topological insulator. The cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy image revealed that the dislocation density in the InGaSb buffer layer was high closer to the GaAs substrate and gradually reduced upon continued growth. However some mismatch-related defects were propagated into the absorber region, consequently degraded the transport quality of absorber. The QW absorber grown on VS had a low mobility. The mobility was dramatically improved by selecting pseudomorphic QW or superlattice absorber with a small Δ that was grown on a lattice-matched GaSb substrate. Hence, in order for the proposed 6.2 Å materials to be viable for sensing applications, a critical effort will be the development of better optimized metamorphic buffers for the design or of highlyhybridized psedomorphic designs that can be grown on lattice-matched substrates.","PeriodicalId":406150,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Sensors, Devices, and Applications XIII","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126522648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
