Structural and optical properties of diluted GaAsBi alloys grown on GaAs(115) substrate by MOVPE
Highly mismatched alloys (HMAs) such as GaAsBi have drawn interest as possible substitutes for conventional III-V semiconductors in electronic and optoelectronic applications, especially in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) spectrum. In this study, a series of GaAsBi samples have been grown on (115) GaAs substrates by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The structural and optical properties are investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD), photoreflectance (PR), and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) techniques, respectively. The grown material exhibits more facility of the incorporation of bismuth (Bi) in the GaAs matrix compared to that grown on the conventional substrate direction (100). A huge bandgap reduction of about 70 meV/% Bi is measured, facilitating the application of this material in electronic and optoelectronic devices operating at infrared range. Indeed, a small amount of Bi (diluted alloys) is only required to use the GaAsBi in bulk, thin films, or nanostructures as an active layer.
