Metamorphic InAsSb/AlInAsSb heterostructures for optoelectronic applications

Abstract

Metamorphic heterostructures containing bulk InAs1−xSbx layers and AlInAsSb barriers were grown on GaSb substrates. The lattice mismatch (up to 2.1%) between the GaSb substrates and the InAsSb layers was accommodated by the growth of GaInSb linearly graded buffers. The 1 μm thick InAsSb0.44 layer with an absorption edge above 9 μm exhibited an in-plane residual strain of about 0.08%. InAs1−xSbx structures with x = 0.2 and x = 0.44 operated as light emitting diodes at 80 K demonstrated output powers of 90 μW and 8 μW at 5 μm and 8 μm, respectively.
