    Hyperspectral imaging has been flourished thanks to the huge investigation of the infrared spectrum from NIR to LWIR bands. The ternary InGaAs has been investigated herein in the context of studying the structural dependences of localization phenomenon by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Raman, ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis), and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. Using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), we succeed to grow the InGaAs directly on InP substrate at 560 ◦C as an active layer with indium concentration exceeding the “golden” value (53%) to enlarge its cutoff absorption wavelength. X-ray diffraction proved a good crystallinity of the heterostructure with a sharp peak related to the thick substrate and another peak attributed to the thin layer of InGaAs. Moreover, an interfacial layer appeared at the logarithmic scale of XRD patterns and was confirmed by Raman analysis. The SEM-EDX revealed an average indium concentration (62%), almost the growth concentration. However, a cross-section compositional profile over the heterostructure showed an inhomogeneous distribution of the indium. This is predictable from the composition fluctuation in the indium-containing alloys and the volatility (surface segregation) of As (In). On the other side, the optical investigation of InGaAs demonstrated an anomalous behavior of luminescence versus temperature, manifested by the S-shape feature. This trend stems from the potential fluctuation induced by the non-uniform distribution of indium. A numerical simulation was developed based on the localized state ensemble (LSE) model to well-reproduce this anomaly by giving the best fitting parameters and comparing them with those calculated using the semi-empirical models (Vi˜na and P¨assler). The results reported here will help in optimizing the epitaxy design of future InGaAs/InP and further studying its surface morphology and device performance.

    Optical and structural properties of In-rich InxGa1-xAs epitaxial layers on (100) InP for SWIR detectors
    (Elsevier, 2020) Smiri, Badreddine; Ben Arbia, Marwa; Ilkay, Demir; Saidi, Faouzi; Othmen, Zied; Dkhil, Brahim; Ismail, Altuntas
    In-rich InxGa1-xAs epitaxial layers were grown on InP (100) substrates by a metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) technique. The effect of Indium (In) composition on the crystalline quality and optical properties are investigated. High resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) measurement and Raman scattering spectrum are used to evaluate the crystalline quality, the residual strain and dislocation density property. The number of dislocations in the epitaxial layers is found to increase by increasing the Indium content in order to release the stresses due to the epitaxial clamping. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement is used to characterize the optical properties. At 10 K, PL measurements show that the InGaAs band gap redshifts with the indium content. Moreover, the asymmetry at the low-energy side of the PL peak has been attributed to the presence of localized excitons. In all samples, a blue shift of PL peaks is evidenced by increasing the excitation power density, which is in line with the presence of carrier's localization and non-idealities in this system. Moreover, the temperature-dependence of the PL peak energy displays an unusual red-blue-red shift (S-shaped) behavior when raising the temperature. These observations can be related to the inhomogeneous distribution of indium which gives rise to the appearance of dislocations and other defects which serve as traps for charge carriers. Interestingly, those highly In-content InxGa1-xAs epitaxial layers show PL emission located between 1637 and 1811 nm (depending on In content) and thus might be suitable for in the design of novel heterostructure devices such as short wave infrared (SWIR) detectors.
