High-quality bulk InGaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructures have been grown
on InP substrates with different orientation using molecular-beam epitaxy.
It was found that the electrical and structural properties were strongly d
ependent on growth temperature and substrate misorientation. The electrical
and structural properties of the film were investigated by high-resolution
x-ray diffraction, Nomarski microscope, and Hall measurements. Full-width
at half-maximum of 380 arcsec for bulk InGaAs on (111)B and 70 arcsec on (1
11)B misoriented by 1 degrees towards < 211 > InP substrates were measured
by x-ray diffraction. The room temperature electron Hall mobility for bulk
InGaAs of 5100 cm(2)/V s, doped with Si concentration at the mid-10(17)/cm(
3), and two-dimensional electron gas mobility of 11 200 cm(2)/V s, and shee
t density of 3.0x10(12)/cm(2) for InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructures on (111)B
misoriented by 1 degrees towards < 211 > InP substrates were achieved. (C)
