Good quality InP was successfully grown on (100)GaAs 2° off normal toward [011] substrates by introducing low-temperature grown GaAs/InP double buffer layers. It was found that addition of a thin GaAs buffer layer (20 nm thick) grown at low temperature (430 °C) between the GaAs substrate and an InP buffer layer was effective for improving the crystal quality. The full width at half-maximum of the x-ray rocking curve was as narrow as 200 arcsec for a 6-μm-thick InP layer. An electron mobility of 15 000 cm2/(V s) at 77 K was obtained for an unintentionally doped layer. The intensity of the photoluminescence at 77 K was as good as that for an InP substrate.
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.
