Abstract

In this study, ZnTe : S single crystal thin films substituted by sulfur were grown on GaAs (100) substrates by hot-wall epitaxy. The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of ZnTe : S single crystal thin films was measured to investigate the effects due to sulfur atoms in the ZnTe layer. The Peak of 2.339 eV identified as the isoelectronic center was observed in low temperature PL spectrum, but PL spectra which the origin had not been well-explained were not observed. Temperature dependence of PL intensities of the light hole free exciton was explained by extrinsic self-trapping. Besides it is reported that the emission lines near absorption edge at room temperature were observed.

본 연구에서는 ZnTe에 S 원자를 소량 첨가한 ZnTe : S 단결정 박막이 열적적층법에 의하여 GaAs(100) 기판 위에 성장되었다. S 원자에 의한 효과를 알기 위하여 ZnTe : S 단결정 박막의 광발광 특성을 조사하였다. 저온 광발광 스펙트럼에서 등전자적 중심(isoelectronic center)으로 보이는 2.339 eV의 피크가 관측되었고, ZnTe 단결정 박막의 광발광 스펙트럼에서 근원을 알 수 없었던 발광 스펙트럼은 관측되지 않았다. 온도에 따른 가벼운 양공 자유 엑시톤의 세기 변화는 외부자기포획(extrinsic self-trapping)으로 설명하였다. 그리고 상온에서 에너지 띠간격 흡수단 근처의 발광선이 관측되었다.
