Abstract

We have studied critical layer thickness (CLT) in an In0.75Ga0.25As resonant tunneling diode structure grown on a GaAs substrate via an InAlAs step-graded buffer (SGB) with two types of inverse step(IS)-SGB. We have observed red or blue shift in photoluminescence spectra and CLT change depending on SGB condition. This change reflects from the difference of residual strain InAlAs SGBs adopted here.
