Abstract

Cubic CdS epilayers were grown on GaAs(100) substrates by using a hot-wall epitaxy method. The crystal structure of the grown epilayer was confirmed to be a cubic structure by using Xray diffraction, and the optical properties of the layer were studied over a wide photon energy range from 1.0 to 8.5 eV at room temperature by using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The obtained data were analyzed for the critical points of the pseudodielectric function spectra, $<\varepsilon(E)>$ = $<\varepsilon_1(E)>$ + i $<\varepsilon_2(E)>$, such as the $E_0$, $E_1$, $E_2$, $E_0^{\prime}$, $E_1^{\prime}$ structures. Also, the pseudodielectric-function-related optical constants of CdS, such as the refractive index $n(E)$, the extinction coefficient $k(E)$, the reflectivity $R(E)$, and the absorption coefficient $\alpha(E)$, are presented and analyzed. Note that all the structures were observed, for the first time, at 300 K by using ellipsometric measurements.

열벽 적층 성장법을 이용하여 고품질의 입방정 CdS/GaAs(100) 박막이 성장되었다. 성장된 박막들은 광학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 분광학적 엘립소미트리 (spectroscopic ellipsometry)를 사용하여 실온에서 1.5 - 8.7 eV 사이 포톤에너지 범위에서 측정되었다. 측정된 데이터들은 유사유전함수 스펙트럼 $<\varepsilon(E)>$ = $<\varepsilon_1(E)>$ + i $<\varepsilon_2(E)>$에 나타난 $E_0$, $E_1$, $E_2$, $E_0^{\prime}$, $E_1^{\prime}$ 와 같은 임계점 구조를 연구하였다. 또한 박막의 복소 유전함수와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있는 굴절지수 $n(E)$, 소광계수 $k(E)$, 반사계수 $R(E)$ 그리고 흡수계수 $\alpha(E)$와 같은 광학적 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 특히 분광학적 엘립소미트리를 이용한 이번 연구에서 나타난 모든 임계점 피크들은 300 K에서 처음으로 관측되었다.
