Popis: The initial stages in the growth of indium phosphide films on gallium arsenide substrates in a chloride gastransport system are investigated by transmission electron microscopy and electron-diffraction and secondaryion mass spectrometry techniques. It is shown that decomposition and/or etching of the surface oxide film and formation of a chemically pure substrate surface occur in the initial stage of the process. The growth islets that form on this surface constitute a solid solution in InP. A model of the process is proposed.
