B. Molinas et al., PREPARATION AND TEST OF SPECIAL SURFACES FOR EPI-READY INP WAFERS, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 44(1-3), 1997, pp. 213-216
The results of the development of two different technologies for the p
reparation of special surfaces for ready-to-use ('epi-ready') InP wafe
rs are presented. The epi-ready stale was studied by means of X-ray ph
otoelectron spectroscopy. The quality of the substrates stored for 4-1
2 months was tested by growing an epilayer by metal-organic vapor phas
e epitaxy and by characterizing it with high-resolution X-ray diffract
ion and photoluminescence techniques. Evidence that one of our technol
ogies could be adopted industrially is given. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc
