Abstract :
TBA and TBP are liquid organometallic sources that are a safer alternative to arsine and phosphine. Using TBA and TBP, the authors have successfully grown lattice matched In0.53Ga0.47As/InP single quantum well lasers emitting at 1.5 mu m with a threshold current density of 220 A/cm2 for broad area devices 3.5 mm in length.
