K. Kamei et al., ELECTRON-MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF INXGA1-XAS GAAS/SI GROWN BY METALORGANIC CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION/, Journal of electronic materials, 24(12), 1995, pp. 2025-2031
The microstructure of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs (5nm/5 nm, x=0 to 1.0), as grown
by a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition two-step growth technique
on Si(100) at 450 degree C, and subsequently annealed at 750 degree C
, is investigated using plan-view and cross-sectional transmission ele
ctron microscopy. The variations in resultant island morphology and st
rain as a function of the In content were examined through the compari
son of the misfit dislocation arrays and moires observed. The results
are discussed in relation to the ways in which the island relaxation p
rocess changes for high In content.
