Abstract

We present low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of MBE and MOCVD ZnTe layers deposited on (100) GaAs substrates under different growth conditions. Strong bands associated with Zn vacancies are observed in the MBE materials, while the MOCVD spectra are dominated by sharp impurity-related lines. Stress levels less than 0.1 kbar are determined for both the MBE and MOCVD layers. A study of the effects of the Zn:Te ratio in the MBE growth chamber reveals an optimal value of −2.2 for a growth temperature of 325°C.
