Abstract

Room temperature Raman scattering measurements was performed on In_xGa_1−xAs structures with different compositional fraction x. An In_xGa_1−xAs LO phonon peak and an InAs-like phonon mode were observed for all samples. The appearance of a symmetry forbidden mode for larger indium content was also reported. The LO phonon peak was found to move to higher Raman shifts and the InAs like features become less prominent as the mole fraction is decreased. Results demonstrated the use of Raman scattering in characterization of bulk semiconductors specifically, in probing of the crystal quality of InGaAs.
