Abstract

We studied the formation of buried heterostructures obtained in a single growth step over nonplanar substrates patterned with ridges. When the ridge dimensions are large enough, the growth on the mesa top is similar to that on a planar substrate. In contrast, ridge spacings below ≈ 10 μm influence the composition of the alloys grown on the ridge as well as those grown in the valley centre. The possible surface mechanisms which may explain this behaviour are discussed.
