摘要
Single surface layers of In0.2Ga0.8As ranging from 10 nm to 3 mum in thickness have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on GaAs at two growth temperatures, 400-degrees-C and 519-degrees-C. The residual strain of each layer has been obtained from double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD) measurements, and the surface morphology observed by differential interference contrast microscopy. The critical thickness is found to be independent of growth temperature. The effects of the change in growth temperature on the surface morphology and the extent of relaxation with varying layer thickness are discussed.
