A prerequisite for growing quantum wells at the industrial level is to control the interface roughness. This is a dominant problem for very thin films and, in this respect, growth interruption sequences have been proposed. In this work, we investigate the interface layers, produced between two InP barriers, by a growth interruption sequence of 8 s: 6 s are under phosphine and 4 s under arsine. We find the resulting build-up of ultrathin (approximately-2 MLs thick) layers of InAsP, strained between the two limiting barriers.
