Abstract

We have successfully grown nanometer-scale InAs islands on GaP (001) by low-pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-OMVPE). Effects of substrate temperature and InAs deposition rate on the shape, size and areal density of InAs islands were investigated by ex-situ atomic force microscope (AFM) and high-energy electron diffraction (HEED). The AFM observations showed that the island size decreased with the substrate temperature while the areal density increased, indicating that migration play a role on island formation. The HEED patterns provided significant result that the island grown at high temperature (650°C) consisted of a few grains, while the island grown at low temperatures (550 and 500°C) was single crystalline.
