Abstract

Atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) of InAs has been developed using trimethylindium-dimethylethylamine adduct (TMIDMEA) as a novel In source. Distinct self-limiting growth of InAs was successfully carried out over a wide temperature range from 350°C to 500°C because of the high thermal stability of TMIDMEA. The possible growth temperature range for ALE-InAs was extended by using TM1DMEA. These results lead us to conclude that the use of TMIDMEA enables us to grow InAs/GaAs heterostructures at a single growth temperature. Using this technique, (InAs)1(GaAs)l short period superlattice (12 periods) quantum-well structures were grown on a GaAs(100) substrate at 460°C. A photoluminescence peak at 1.3 µm was observed in these structures at room temperature.
