Abstract
In this paper we have studied the effect of MOVPE growth conditions on the arsenic incorporation in strained InAsP quantum wells (QWs) grown on InP su bstrates. Lower growth temperatures result in an enhanced arsenic incorpora tion, as well as an improvement in the quality of the heterostructure. It i s seen that an increase in the arsine flux does not readily increase the ar senic composition in the film which is dependent on temperature. strain and growth conditions.
