Yb. Bolkhovityanov et al., LIQUID-PHASE EPITAXY OF HIGHLY STRAINED INGAASP GAAS FILMS IN THE 1.4-1.8 EV INTERVAL OF BAND-GAPS/, Journal of crystal growth, 158(3), 1996, pp. 217-223
Highly elastically strained films of InGaAsP solid solutions in the 1.
4-1.8 eV interval of band gaps were grown on GaAs(111)B substrates by
liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) for the first time. Elastic strains close t
o 1% are reached. The determined critical thicknesses exceed the predi
ctions of the energy equilibrium theory by Matthews and Blakeslee by a
s much as an order of magnitude. Up to this date these data are record
results for LPE technology of superthin films and for the InGaAsP/GaA
s quaternary films for all technologies.
