Abstract

A high-reflectance GaInP/GaAs distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) was grown by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE). The mirror consists of 40 pairs of alternating layers and was designed for a centre wavelength of 980 nm, resulting in a total thickness of 5.8 mum. Highly stable growth conditions led to a maximum reflectance of 0.99 and to a variation in the centre wavelength of only 5 nm over the 2'' (50.8 mm) wafer. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed the vertical uniformity and the crystallographic quality of the sample.

X-ray crystallography

X-ray crystallography is the experimental science determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline structure causes a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions. By measuring the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams, a crystallographer can produce a three-dimensional picture of the density of electrons within the crystal. From this electron density, the mean positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined, as well as their chemical bonds, their crystallographic disorder, and various other information.

Electron crystallography

Electron crystallography is a method to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). It can involve the use of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images, electron diffraction patterns including convergent-beam electron diffraction or combinations of these. It has been successful in determining some bulk structures, and also surface structures. Two related methods are low-energy electron diffraction which has solved the structure of many surfaces, and reflection high-energy electron diffraction which is used to monitor surfaces often during growth.

Crystallographic database

A crystallographic database is a database specifically designed to store information about the structure of molecules and crystals. Crystals are solids having, in all three dimensions of space, a regularly repeating arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules. They are characterized by symmetry, morphology, and directionally dependent physical properties. A crystal structure describes the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystal.
