Effect of buffer layer on InSb quantum wells grown on GaAs (001) substrates
2004
The effects of buffer layers on structural defects in InSb/AlxIn1−xSb quantum wells (QWs) have been investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Buffer layers with different nucleation layer materials (InSb or AlSb) and intermediate layer structures (Al0.09In0.91Sb/InSb strained-layer superlattice or InSb interlayer) were deposited on GaAs (001) substrates prior to the growth of InSb QW structures. Among the samples studied, the one with a 1 μm AlSb nucleation layer and a 200 nm InSb interlayer yielded the lowest densities of microtwins and dislocations in the InSb QW.
