Abstract

InP and InAs (100) were grown by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy (GSMBE) with arsine, phosphine, and elemental indium. Reflection high-energy-electron diffraction (RHEED) was used to monitor surface reconstructions and growth rates. (2×4) to (2×1) transition was observed on InP (100) as phosphine flow rate increased. (4×2) and (2×4) patterns were observed for In-stabilized and As-stabilized InAs surfaces, respectively. Both group-V and group-rn-induced RHEED oscillations were observed. The group-V surface desorption activation energy were measured to be 0.61 eV for InP and 0.19 eV for InAs. By this growth rate study, we are able to establish a precise control of V/HII atomic ratios in GSMBE of InP and InAs.
