Bulk GaAsSb samples were grown lattice matched to InP substrates at different temperatures using gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy in order to optimize the crystal quality. Growth temperatures from 15°C above the InP surface oxide desorption temperature to 145°C below it have been investigated. Undesirable properties such as Sb composition variation and natural composition superlattices in the growth direction have occurred at high growth temperature possibly due to phase separation. High quality, single phase GaAsSb lattice matched to InP has been grown at 135°C below the desorption temperature as evidenced by narrow linewidths and clear Pendellösung fringes displayed in high-resolution x-ray diffraction spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
