    Abstract

    Growth of unintentionally doped GaSb by atmospheric pressure MOCVD using Trimethylgallium (TMGa) and Trimethylantimonide (TMSb) on various substrate is investigated. Optimum growth temperature and the V/III ratio window is given with respect to hole density, mobility and optical properties. The optimum growth rate was found to be 2.2 μm/h with good surface morphology for samples grown at 500-540 °C and V/III ratio approximately equal to unity. The as grown samples are p-type, having room-temperature mobility and hole density, at the optimum growth condition as above, of 500 cm 2V -1 s -1 and 0.5-3.0×10 17 cm -3, respectively. The fundamental absorption band edge of grown layers in transmission spectra shows clear excitonic features at low temperatures. Very short growth time leads to quantum dot formation, with the best quantum dots grown on Ge.
