InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well structures, grown by metal-organic vapou
r phase-epitaxy, were investigated by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray dif
fractometry to analyse the influence of precursor gas switching parame
ters on the interface abruptness. Owing to carry-over effects, InAsP i
s formed at the InGaAs-to-InP interface for low PH3 purging times (1 s
), while for purging times greater than 4 s exchange of As by P leads
to the formation of an InGaAsP interface layer, which for purging beyo
nd 10 s saturates at a thickness of 1.2 nm.
