摘要:

低温外延生长的硅基砷化镓(LT-GaAs/Si)材料在太赫兹(THz)光电导天线方面具有潜在的应用前景。然而,异质外延生长的LT-GaAs/Si的晶体、光学和电学性质可能与半绝缘GaAs衬底上生长的晶体、光学和电学性质非常不同。在这项研究中,我们调查的光学性质的外延生长的LT-GaAs/Si样品,相比,在相同的衬底温度下生长的参考,并具有相同的层厚度。在LT-GaAs/Si中存在反相畴和一定的晶体取向差。从相干声子谱,本征载流子密度估计为~ $10^{15}$ cm $^{-3}$为任一样品。强等离子体阻尼也被观察到。载流子动力学,在高激发通量的时间分辨太赫兹光谱测量,揭示了样品之间的显着不同的响应。低于饱和时,两个样品都表现出所需的快速响应。在光通量为$\geq$ 54 $μ$ J/cm $^2$的情况下,参考LT-GaAs层显示出导致非指数行为的电子俘获态饱和,但LT-GaAs/Si保持双指数衰减。这种差异归因于LT-GaAs/Si异质外延生长过程中As-As和Ga-Ga键的形成,有效地导致了低得多的As相关电子陷阱密度。

英文摘要:

Epitaxial low temperature grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) on silicon (LT-GaAs/Si) has the potential for terahertz (THz) photoconductive antenna applications. However, crystalline, optical and electrical properties of heteroepitaxial grown LT-GaAs/Si can be very different from those grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates (reference). In this study, we investigate optical properties of an epitaxial grown LT-GaAs/Si sample, compared to a reference grown under the same substrate temperature, and with the same layer thickness. Anti-phase domains and some crystal misorientation are present in the LT-GaAs/Si. From coherent phonon spectroscopy, the intrinsic carrier densities are estimated to be ~$10^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$ for either sample. Strong plasmon damping is also observed. Carrier dynamics, measured by time-resolved THz spectroscopy at high excitation fluence, reveals markedly different responses between samples. Below saturation, both samples exhibit the desired fast response. Under optical fluences $\geq$ 54 $μ$ J/cm$^2$, the reference LT-GaAs layer shows saturation of electron trapping states leading to non-exponential behavior, but the LT-GaAs/Si maintains a double exponential decay. The difference is attributed to the formation of As-As and Ga-Ga bonds during the heteroepitaxial growth of LT-GaAs/Si, effectively leading to a much lower density of As-related electron traps.
