Abstract

High quality epitaxial films of ZnSe and ZnSe/ZnS strained layer superlattices (SLS) have been grown on (100) GaAs substrates using diethylZinc, dimethylSelenide, diethylSelenide, and propyleneSulfide as reagents in both atmospheric and low pressure environment. This source combination produces the results showing the influence of process conditions, such as reagent flow ratio (fv1/f11) and substrate temperature, on the film stoichiometry, surface morphology, and crystalline quality. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL), Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), cross-sectional TEM, and x-ray diffraction have been used to characterize the films. Photoluminescence studies at 2.8 K on samples of ZnSe/ZnS strained layer superlattices; 10 periods ZnSe(1.5 nm)/ZnS(8.5 nm), have shown quantum size effect with the peak energy blue-shifted to 3.03 eV with the FWHM=73 meV. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to study surface morphology of multilayer samples.
