Orientation effects in the LPE growth of GaInAsP quaternary alloys

Abstract
It was found that the liquidus composition determined by the saturation technique for the (100) ‐oriented InP source crystal is different from that for the (111) B‐oriented InP source crystal in the LPE growth of GaInAsP alloys. The lattice‐matching conditions in GaInAsP LPE growth using the liquidus data are also influenced by the substrate orientation.
