Abstract

The epitaxial growth of GaSb thin film with different V/III ratios on high-lattice-mismatched GaAs (001) substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was investigated. Under optimal V/III ratio of 2.5, we found that there are many periodic 90° interfacial misfit dislocation (IMF) arrays existing at the GaAs/GaSb interface. The surface roughness is about 3.6nm, 2.2nm, 3.8nm, respectively while different V/III ratios (1.25, 2.5, 5) were adopted. These results demonstrated that the hill-and valley structure on the surface of GaSb/GaAs heterostructure can be effectively improved, and formed smooth surface morphology.
