Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a ZnTe / GaAs heteroepitaxial layer, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor material preparation. According to the preparation method, the ZnTe epitaxial layer grows on a GaAs substrate by adopting an organometallic chemical vapor phase epitaxy process, taking dimethyl zinc and diethyl tellurium as organometallic sources and hydrogen as a carrier gas and by using organometallic chemical vapor phase epitaxy equipment. The ZnTe / GaAs epitaxial layer prepared by using the preparation method has narrow band edge bound exciton peak and larger luminous intensity and does not generate deep energy level emission and dislocation-related Y rays, and all the results indicate that the epitaxial layer has favorable crystal quality. The ZnTe / GaAs epitaxial layer prepared by using the preparation method can be used for preparation of photoelectric devices, such as green LEDs and Terahertz emitters, can realize integration with a GaAs-based device and has wide application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a zinc telluride / gallium arsenide heterogeneous epitaxial layer, in particular to a method for preparing a high-quality zinc telluride / gallium arsenide heterogeneous epitaxial layer by controlling the growth temperature. Background technique [0002] Zinc telluride (ZnTe) is an important II-IV compound semiconductor material. ZnTe has a direct bandgap and a large forbidden band width (2.26eV at room temperature), so it has a good application prospect in optoelectronic devices such as green LEDs, terahertz detectors, solar cells and optical waveguides. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is an important III-V semiconductor material. GaAs has high saturation electron velocity and high electron mobility, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity, so it has a wide range of applications in communication systems and optoelectronic devices. If ZnTe can be epitaxially grown on GaAs, device integration can be realized...
