K. Sato et al., REFLECTION HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION INTENSITY OSCILLATIONS DURING GROWTH OF (AL,CA)AS ON GAAS(111)A, Journal of crystal growth, 150(1-4), 1995, pp. 77-80
We have made a reflection high-energy diffraction (RHEED) intensity os
cillation study of the growth of (Al,Ga)As on GaAs and (Al,Ga)As (111)
A surfaces. The RHEED intensity oscillations during growth of (Al,Ga)A
s are dependent on both growth temperature and As-4:Ga flux ratio. In
addition, the oscillation period decreases as the Al fraction in the (
Al,Ga)As is increased. Changes in the oscillation period during growth
of the first few monolayers of both GaAs on (Al,Ga)As and (Al,Ga)As o
n GaAs may indicate the intermixing of Al and Ga near the heterointerf
ace.
