Abstract

Triethylgallium, trimethylindium and tertiarybutylarsine have been used to grow GaAs and InGaAs on (OO1)GaAs. No pre-cracking was used so that the thermal decomposition of tertiarybutylarsine on GaAs could be studied. The growth has been monitored in-situ using reflection high-energy electron diffraction and reflectance-difference. A comparison ismade between the reflectance difference signal and the intensity of the reflection high-energy electron diffraction specular spot as the surface is transformed from As rich to Garich. Using the former technique similar growth transients have also been studied as a function of the temperature. It is found that the incorporation of small amounts of In (less than 5 per cent) in the buffer layer significantly improves the oscillatory behavior of the RD-signal when growth of GaAs is commenced. Finally, the growth dynamics of InGaAs isstudied using reflection high-energy electron diffraction.
