Abstract:
It is shown that transient processes arising in the growth chamber of a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system influence the structure of interfaces and electron spectrum of quantum wells in GaAs/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As heterostructures used for the creation of photodetectors (PDs) operating in the mid-IR range. These processes lead to a low-frequency shift of the PD operating transition, appearance of interband transition lines (forbidden by selection rules) in the absorption spectrum, and decrease in the energy shift between quantum-confinement levels formed by light and heavy holes. These effects provide a simple approach to contactless evaluation of the quality of interfaces in GaAs/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As heterostructures for PDs.
Keywords:
