Structural Defects Due to Growth Interruptions in ZnSe-Based Heterostructures
Abstract
It has been shown that the growth interruption peffomed for calibration of VI-II flux ratio leads to the additional strain contrast in cross-sectional TEM images. Futhermore, this strain seems to be the driven force for the formation of extended defects immediately at the interruption interface. On the other hand, the developed alternately-strained SLs allow one to enhance the activation energy of the development and propagation of extended defects and protect the laser active region from the defects penetration. These findings, while being qualitative, are important for further decrease of the defects density in ZnSe-based laser structures.
