We h a ve observed changes in the morphology of InP lms grown in epi-ready substrates and on patterns created by photo and plow-mode AFM lithography. These changes are attributed to di erent levels of contamination of the surface, which f a vor nucleation of clusters over a two-dimensional lm for the lithography-processed surface. The area of nucleation is smaller than the dimensions of the patterns created by lithography, so no size e ects due to the presence of the pattern could be observed. The lm morphologies exhibited well de ned exponents for system sizes smaller than 0.2 m but no de ned growth exponent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
