Abstract

GaSb, AlxGa1-xSb, and AlxGa1-xSb epitaxial layers were grown by the liquid-phase epitaxy and characterized by photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, and double-crystal X-ray diffraction. The concentration of residual acceptors which are related to structural defects decreased with lowering growth temperature, but the GaSb epitaxial layer grown at an extremely low temperature of 270°C had poor crystalline quality. The AlxGa1-xSb (x≥0.15) and AlxGa1-xSb (x=0.02) epitaxial layers grown at 270 °C, however, had much better quality than the GaSb epitaxial layer grown at the same temperature.
