“…Recent metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) growth studies of (Al)GaAs on GaAs have shown that small misorientations in the range 0-0.61 on the GaAs substrate can have a dramatic impact in the optical and transport properties of the grown layers, allowing record material properties to be achieved for MOVPE, with results comparable with those obtainable by the best MBE systems [5,6]. These improvements have been shown to correlate with the substrate surface ordering, where the best optical properties were obtained from growth on substrates intentionally miscut at 0.21 off (1 0 0), which corresponds to the onset of the appearance of step bunching on the GaAs surface [5,7,8]. A similar study for the growth of InGaAs on low-angle misorientated InP substrates has not been reported, and is the subject of this paper.…”
a b s t r a c tWe investigate the dependence of the low-temperature photoluminescence linewidths from InP-lattice-matched InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells on the low-angle misorientation from the (1 0 0) surface of the host InP substrate. Quantum wells were grown on InP substrates misorientated by 01, 0.21, 0.41 and 0.61; 0.41 was found to consistently result in the narrowest peaks, with the optimal spectral purity of $ 4.25 meV found from a 15 nm quantum well. The width of the emission from the 15 nm quantum well was used to optimize the growth parameters. Thick layers of Si-doped InGaAs were then grown and found to have bulk, low temperature (77 K) electron mobilities up to m$3.5 Â 10 4 cm 2 /V s with an electron concentration of $ 1 Â 10 16 .

“…The systematic characterization of the self-limiting profile as a function of the growth conditions and composition, a key ingredient in model development, has not been readily available because of the painstaking procedures needed to acquire these data. On the other hand, previous work [18] has indicated that a reaction-diffusion model based on the surface diffusion and decomposition at step edges of the group-III precursor explains the morphology of misoriented GaAs(001) surfaces during MOVPE. In fact, the large length scales of typical etched patterns effectively preempt kinetic Monte Carlo simulations except for qualitative studies [19], leaving a continuum description as the only viable alternative for a quantitative theory.…”

“…3). Finally, for misorientation angles greater than 1.51, progressively larger lateral surface undulations parallel to the [1 1 2 0] a direction were observed, which we attribute to step bunching at large misorientation angles [16]. With an increase in misorientation angle the intensity of the higher order superlattice (SL) peaks decreased, most likely due to increased interface roughness (Figs.…”

“…Previous work on the MOCVD growth of III-arsenide-and III-phosphide-based materials established that substrate misorientation can have significant effects on surface morphology [16], impurity incorporation [17], alloy composition [18], and photoluminescence (PL) spectra [18,19]. Initial studies on InGaN/GaN LEDs grown on free-standing m-plane substrates used nominally on-axis substrates [20].…”
