The effect of substrate orientation on the liquid-solid distribution coefficients for Ga<i>x</i>In1−<i>x</i>As in the temperature range 600–700 °C

Abstract

We demonstrate that the liquid-solid distribution coefficients depend on the substrate orientation in the growth from the liquid phase of GaxIn1−xAs. The distribution coefficient of Ga for growth on the (100) face was found to be larger than that for growth on the (111B) face over the entire temperature range investigated.
