Abstract
CdTe-ZnTe strained-layer superlattices (SLSs) were grown on GaAs by hot-wall epitaxy. The individual layer thickness of the SLS is well controlled and the thickness fluctuation is less than ±1 monolayer. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images show coherent SLS growth. We found that two-thirds of the threading dislocations can be reduced by inserting the SLS in CdTe/GaAs.Keywords
