Abstract : We compare the effect of InGaAs/GaAs strained-layer superlattice (SLS) with that of GaAs thick buffer layer (TBL) serving as a dislocation filter layer. The InGaAs/GaAs SLS is found to be more effective than GaAs TBL in blocking the propagation of threading dislocations, which are generated at the interface between the GaAs buffer layer and the Si substrate. Through testing and analysis, we conclude that the weaker photoluminescence for quantum dots (QDs) on Si substrate is caused by the quality of capping In0.15 Ga0.85 As and upper GaAs. We also find that the periodic misfits at the interface are related to the initial stress release of GaAs islands, which guarantees that the upper layers are stress-free.
