Abstract

The tetragonal distortion present in both VPE and LPE In1-xGaxAs was measured from X-ray rocking curves of the (511) reflection. These measurements were then used to establish coherency limits. In addition, wafer curvature was measured and compared to that calculated via an expression which incorporates both tetragonal distortion and misfit dislocations. Agreement was found except for a case in which stacking faults were present.
