The invention relates to the technical field of
semiconductor material preparation, in particular to an InAs / GaSb
superlattice material and an epitaxial growth method thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, providing a substrate; s2, epitaxially growing a buffer layer on the substrate; s3, a plurality of periods of InAs / GaSb
superlattice structures are sequentially grown on the buffer layer in an epitaxial mode, each period of InAs / GaSb
superlattice structure comprises an I-type InSb
interface layer, a first InAs layer, a second InAs layer, a third InAs layer, an II-type InSb
interface layer and a GaSb layer which are sequentially grown in an epitaxial mode, and the growth rate of the first InAs layer and the growth rate of the third InAs layer are lower than the growth rate of the second InAs layer. The InAs layer is divided into three
layers to grow, and the growth rate of the first InAs layer and the third InAs layer is designed to be smaller than the growth rate of the second InAs layer in the middle, so that the influence of MBE cavity As background beam on the superlattice quality in the superlattice growth process can be effectively inhibited, the
interface layer quality is improved, the growth interruption time does not need to be increased, the interface growth complexity is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. And the
repeatability of the MBE growth process is improved.
