Indium phosphide (001) surfaces were exposed to 0.61-mTorr trimethylantimony in a metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy reactor. The antimony surface composition increased rapidly with dosage and saturated at 22.0 at. % for temperatures between 450 and 600 °C. The results indicate that a thin layer of InSb formed on the surface, ~6.8 Å thick. Strain from the lattice mismatch caused faceting in the [110] direction, whereas the formation of Sb dimer bonds relieved the strain in the [-110] direction. As a result, narrow ridges formed that ranged from 4 to 10 nm wide and from 3.0 to 18.0 Å high, depending on the antimony coverage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
