Abstract

We have grown and characterized heteroepitaxial films of InP on GaAs. We demonstrate that by using flow-rate modulation epitaxy to grow the interface layer in a two-step process, we can improve the quality of heteroepitaxy films. The full-widths-at-half-maximum of the x-ray rocking curve and the 10-K photoluminescence spectrum for a 6.2-μm-thick InP/GaAs are 144 arcsec and 1.28 meV, respectively.
