Compound semiconductor alloys have limited miscibility, which can lead to composition segregation during growth. This effect produces periodic lateral composition modulation in epitaxial InAs-AlAs [1] and other alloys [2]. Intense modulation is found in vertical (InAs) n /(AlAs) m superlattices (n ≈ m ≈ 2) grown by molecular beam epitaxy [3]. Growth on (001) InP substrates leads to two modulation directions with only short InAs-enriched regions (~0.1 µm) [4]. Superlattices with global-average compositions slightly rich in InAs (n > m) have modulations ~8° from the in-plane <100> directions. Growth on substrates miscut 2° toward (100) selects the modulation near [100], resulting in vertical sheets enriched in InAs and extending nearly parallel to [010] with lengths approaching ~1 µm.
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.
