Abstract
We have studied the morphology of antiphase boundaries (APBs) and their for mation mechanism in CuAu-I type ordered InGaAs grown on a vicinal(110)InP s ubstrate; In InGaAs grown at 380 degrees C, APBs are formed parallel to (11 0) by the flow of one-monolayer steps. In InGaAs grown at 450 degrees C, th e normal directions of APBs are slightly tilted toward [00 (1) over bar] or [001] from (110) and some APBs show a hairpin shape. New formation mechani sms of these APBs are proposed.
