Abstract

GaxIn(1−x)P epilayers grown on GaAs substrates by MOVPE, for different growth temperatures and values of x∼0.5, have been studied by electron microscopy. The results indicate that under certain conditions the ternary epilayer is ordered parallel to the (111) plane. Dark-field images obtained using the superlattice reflections reveal ordered domains of different orientations. High-resolution images have been obtained from the ordered domains. The structure of these domains is not perfect but contains many planar faults parallel to the growth surface.
