Abstract
InAs layers were grown with and without bismuth flow by atmospheric pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on exactly oriented, 2° and 10° misoriented (100) GaAs substrates. Structural analysis was carried out using high resolution X-ray diffraction. Without bismuth flow, only InAs layers grown on 10° misoriented substrates exhibit a mosaic structure. Layers grown on exactly oriented and 2° misoriented substrates show large full widths at half maxima of their diffraction rocking curves. Growing InAs under bismuth flow leads to the reduction of this full width indicating a clear improvement of their structural quality. Particularly for samples grown on 10° misoriented substrates, a complete disappearance of the mosaic structure was obtained. The crystalline quality improvement is attributed to the contribution of Bi nanodots in relieving strain.
