Abstract
We report the first direct measurements of the strain in a series of In1−xGaxAs/InP structures by ion beam crystallography. A compression strain of 0.0152±0.0008 was obtained for an In0.47Ga0.53As epitaxial layer on an InP substrate compared with an expansion strain of 0.0126±0.0010 for an In0.58Ga0.42As layer structure. The method used allows quantitative strain measurements to be performed without the need for computer simulations.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
