研究目的
Investigating the temporal stability and absolute composition issues in molecular beam epitaxy of AlGaAs/GaAs THz QCL to ensure repeatable fabrication of well and barrier layers with certain thicknesses.
研究成果
The study concludes that different analysis techniques, including XRD and PL, are effective for AlxGa1–xAs composition analysis and spatial profile variation. Proper calibration and thermal isolation of effusion cells can significantly reduce Al composition drift, making these techniques suitable for QCL growth runs.
研究不足
The study acknowledges discrepancies in absolute content determination by different techniques, with spreading within Δx ~ ±0.015. The accuracy of RBS is limited to Δx ~ ±0.01 due to unresolved Al signal. PL technique can produce complicated spectrum due to doping and possible defects in AlxGa1–xAs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study focuses on the precise determination of Al content in AlxGa1–xAs ternary, composition profiling, and robust express-analysis for AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well layer thickness and composition.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples include AlxGa1–xAs layers and AlxGa1–xAs/GaAs short-period superlattices.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Techniques used include X-ray diffractometry (XRD), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), and Rutherford ion backscattering (RBS).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves calibration procedures, cell regime corrections for III fluxes stabilization, and analysis of Al content profile.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis involves comparing results from different techniques to determine accuracy and sensitivity.
