Abstract

The dependence of the growth pattern of thin HgCdTe LPE layers on lattice mismatch was investigated. Epilayers grown on substrates with a lattice mismatch of more than 0.2% show island-like growth, which are aligned with the network of misfit dislocation lines. Thin epilayers grown on substrates with a lattice mismatch of less than 0.05% have mirror-like flat surfaces. It was found that the surface defects for thick epilayers also have a lattice-mismatch dependency.
