Abstract
We report a systematic study of the effect of substrate orientation on the ordering in the AlGaInP system, including the Al0.52In0.48P lattice-matched ternary case. Four AlGaInP/GaAs/AlInP samples were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy under identical growth conditions on [100] substrates orientated 0°, 2°, 10° and 15° either towards the [110] or the [111] axis. The ordering in both the AlInP and the AlGaInP layers was studied by electron diffraction and the Raman scattering technique. The tendency for ordering decreased with increasing misorientation and is less for (AlxGa1−x)0.52In0.48P than for AlInP. The AlInP was found to spontaneously order even when grown after a completely disordered AlGaInP layer. The Raman results show features correlated to the electron diffraction results and hence we conclude that this technique constitutes a reliable nondestructive means of characterizing this system.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
