Abstract
The effect of InGaP surface preparation has been investigated for the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of ZnSe. The net acceptor concentration profile near the interface of nitrogen-doped p-type ZnSe layers was strongly affected by the surface preparation of InGaP layers. The low net acceptor concentration region for the samples grown on a thermally treated (580 °C) or P2S5-treated InGaP surface was narrower than that region for the sample grown on a surface exposed to neither thermal treatment nor P2S5 treatment. Structures with InGaP buffer layers exposed to the surface treatments outlined here hold much promise for the reduction of the blue-green laser operation voltage.
